hi folks,
after an afternoon of the glorious art of welding.
ive finaly done it.....
i took a 45kg gas bottle, chopped the bottom off. then split in it two from top to bottom....then welded both halves end to end in the hope of making a huge bbq trough....then realised the finances involved in purchasing a 6ft grill or even mesh thick enough to cover the beast... so.....
i thought id weld one up using oval tube from a double bunk bed slat set.
i lost count of the amount of welds i did. and considering it was 0.9mm steel and i was using 1.5mm rods i think i did reasonable well.
obviously it will need a real good burn off and i did remove as much paint as i could using the lethal wire cup brush.
here we go....deep breaths...lol
