12' Aluminium Skiff Kit

How did you weld it? Looks like a spool gun from your pics? One of your own machines I take it?

A mixture of pulse mig and tig. Most of the mig was done with a standard 3 metre conventional gun but when I was climbing in and out and doing the internals I swapped to the push-pull gun which gives the same reliable feed as a spool gun but the wire is housed in the welding set and is helped along by a small puller motor in the gun handle.

Impressed. With boat and video. But would have expected Rod Stewart singing!

You’ve lost me there, why is that?

Ah, I walked into that one didn’t I? In my defence I do not mentally associate motor boats with sailing.

Fair point. A yacht next then?
