Aye, probably with @henry Kadzielski mentioning raising the water.Ahh sorry I misread - thought it looked rough for water.
Not bad for plasma though

That's incredible. Go on, tell the truth, you made a new one, didn't you?

A bit of wood bothering today, made a radiator cover from all the off cuts and some reclaimed MDF, even the hinges are reclaimed from a door, just needs a paint now.

I "made" my new bike shed complete with the last of the flashings tonight, and started loading it up with paddle boards, bike etc. Quite a novelty for my bike to live in a shed... the last two years it's almost 100% lived in my car with the back seats down

Took my oxy-propane Torch at work today.
At the end of the day we tested together with the bosses
Set 0.8 bar on propane ,3 on oxygen .
Lighted it on
It has produced much intense heat ,and stronger flame than the bosses ones set at 4bar on propane an 10 on oxygen
They asked me to find another one equal to mine

Could you please do a weld on a couple of bits of scrap ally and deliberately dab the electrode then do a close up just to make mere mortals like me feel better. Beautiful work. " dropped off" if my efforts were that good they would be in a glass case.
Sometimes it's difficult to hand parts over I've took the time handled the parts with surgical gloves or tig gloves then they come with dirty oily hands and mess them up
Awesome! I have said it before after seeing pics of your work, but I would love to be capable of this quality of welding. Well done!

I sorted out my milling machine tool library. Now I have 9 tools with proper height and diameter offsets associated with them, and I can use these tools in fusion 360 with zero faffing and height setting between tool changes.
I also labelled my tools, but i don't think the labels will last long... But there aren't too many tools to get confused with anyway.

surface finish is a bit crap because its just mild steel, but it'll do the job just fine.

Thankyou for that @Hood. It does seem that with nitrogen I do get a slightly better finish. Just not quite as rough as what you have. It welds quite well all that I do is run a flap disk on the bottom edge to remove the tiny dross and we are good to go with the hot glue gun. Well steel I can't complain at all, speed and finish is all good. Was actually supprised at the finish I got when cutting 20mm and 25mm plate, just slightly rounded at the bottom edge of the corners, pretty well what you are getting, couldn't actually see the any rippling of the cut edge at all.
