Default Been Playing with the tig this evening

Just doing the finishing touches on the engine swap now and one of those little jobs that has been hanging around for a while is to make a new battery box for my new little race battery.

got a new pedal for the tig the other day so thought it would be rude not to test it out, so i decided to make the battery box out of 1.5mm ali.

here are the results. dont think they are too bad considering that i havent welded ali for over 6 months. gave it a good brush with some emry paper to get a nice brushed effect. all i need to do now is make the retaining strap.

That set up in the back looks like the AK47 approach to coffee drinking

I think he's been playing with his TIG more than he's letting on...

Dowe Egberts Senseo all the way for me, didn't rate it at all till the wfire bought me a machine for Christmas - can't get enough of it now!

Oh hang on, sorry, forgot this was a car forum - Nice tray Ash! Hope your going to treat your Exocet to some nice little trick bits too.
