The good morning thread

[Lozzer]

Spent much of the day working out how to MIG weld aluminium efficiently with Alex and we have dialled it in pretty tidily, seems the secret is to get some thermal mass next to the weld area to draw heat out of the weld.

Aluminium welding is tricky with the mig, Tig is easier as you can use the arc to your advantage , it's a ******* when it's cold so it helps when you heat the parent metal some , sort of gives you a head start before the actual welding induces its own heat.

^^^Which is totally opposite of what you've said lol

Hmm, I've got a snapped cast aluminium footrest, fancy a challenge?

I’m buying a uk made MIG welder soon so when I have it yes as my present machine is a bit rough and ready.

New second season of Fastest Car is now on Netflix.
However there appears on the couple of episodes I've watched so far too many 'sad' stories of why they are building their street racers. I don't want to be depressed too much when watching a subject I like.
I'm I being a bit cold?

Is there a link, fella? Or do we just send you the cash in used, non-sequential banknotes? Preferred currency..?

edit: just found it over here.

Roll up, roll up, guys and gals, dig deep and raise some money to help keep Newton's kayak between him and the Thames.
