Anyways, back into it, thought there might be some interest. I'll post some more when I have a decent crack at the aluminium welding with the torch. I imagine that will be the tough one.
Looks good.

Be interesting to see how it goes with Al. I would think the O2 would cause problems with the base metal oxidizing.

Stainless steel is beautiful to weld with. I sleaved my control arms with stainless pipe and welded stainless to mild with 316 rods. I was amazed how nice it worked.



The hard thing about welding pipe is going around corners. I got a few lumps were i stopped to roll over the arm (it was in a jig).

Only problem with stick welding stainless is you have to be careful not to inspect it before chipping off the flux. With stainless it actualy explodes and shoots off.
