Some progress at last
Hi, have spent the afternoon in the garage and managed to get the bottom frame tacked together. Boy oh boy, do I hate the from frame. About two weeks ago I built a jig for the assembly of the front frame. I spent ages on Wednesday enening cutting all the angles and checking each and every angle and length three times over. I placed them all into the jig and proceeded to tack it all together, removed it from the jig to find nothing was right. The 75mm off set was 83mm and nothing was right. I eventually found that the base board had warped and this was throwing everything out, so I took it all apart and re-did it all without the jig and it came out right happy days. I have up loaded some photos and hopefully this link will give some idea of progress made.

Thanks Andy, I think it can be said that the front frame could be the son of Satan, and the cause of many cases of insanity

Even the other half thinks it's great, I think she thinks she is going to get behind the wheel, as if I would let her risk herself behind the wheel of something so wild

Just a quick question while you are on here Andy, I am having trouble with my Tig welder is this gas ok for mild steel with a tig set, it works ok with the mig and I was wondering if the problem was with the gas through the set because my the earth, etc all seem to be ok, even checked the collet is the right one for the tungsten etc.
Arfon p.s the photo of the cylinder is in the attached http://s900.photobucket.com/home/TheArf/index |

Hi TheArf,
Before you get too far in the build, where's this junction in your frame? Are you sure you've got everything marked out correctly? Kind regards John
