Its been a fairly quiet week at work so I've managed to get all the fanimold bits stuck together at last after a new consignment of ali welding rods arrived. I have to say I am well chuffed with the TIG welder, despite it only having a claimed 60% duty cycle it hasn't cut out once, produces nice clean welds and with the foot pedal is super controllable.

I did quite a bit of cleaning up of it all yesterday with a borrowed die grinder and carbide bit then switched to my cheapo Dremel type rotary tool to polish it all up. It was all going swimmingly till 3 pm when the rotary tool suddenly lost power, I looked down to the main unit to see it glowing and unhealthy colour and pouring with smoke. So I chopped the plug off and went out and bought another!

Going in today to do some more polishing and hopefully will have a couple of photos for your delectation later.
