Another part complete, The pier for the observatory is almost complete with a bit of sandblasting and a lick of paint, it will be ready for installation.
First thing, the pictures do not do me much justice.
I have only just started welding and on this occasion for experimental reasons I used flux core MIG wire.
It was the final 3 welds that I realised where I went wrong so most of the welding sticks but it is at least solid.
I hope to use Gas welding techniques in the future as I still have a load of welding task to complete but may wait till I finish this semester of Uni before getting the gas gear.
Needless to say the final 3 welds were a lot better once I increase the wire speed.
The second image is my worst weld
