    @ginfizz20 4 месяца назад +2

    Glad to have you back postings. As you were welding the 'extension" I was thinking, "how is it he never burns through like I do all the time?" and just then YOU burned through. Your ARE human! Your explanation on how you will correct the situation is very helpful. I usually just go back and try to fill the hole and continue on welding as I had been when I burned through. Thank you for the explanation of a "SCAN". I have been getting them for quite some time now and never knew it.

    • @ratrodsafrica
      @ratrodsafrica  4 месяца назад

      😀👍A good little trick when you've burned a hole and you are struggling to close it - back it with a piece of copper or aluminum and then weld it up. It helps to absorb some of the heat, and the welding does not stick to it

    Hi Div, so great to get back into the "workshop in the forest" with you.
    I like your take on the surface preparation and finish, we can be sure it'll be "just perfectly adequate".
    Going good man, look after yourself. Cheers mate.🦘🦘

    So satisfying to see you back on the job,, and really, if it pleases you, then, the job is done perfectly.. I'm 74 and a SCAN is always on the cards, especially if the night before didn't go well.
    Stay well brother,
