Weld Me

[jenchris (Jennifer)]

2mm steel with a stick welder without practice is to plan for colander welds.
Mig is a lot easier. Sadly my mig welder is pretty old and produces pigeon poo unless I do some servicing of the reel which sticks and slips.
Grinder tidies it up though. ...

I was recently up near Inverness in Scotland which is like northern Denmark, and they rarely see it.

Apologies to OP for following this tangent...

It appears it's weather and light pollution, rather than latitude related. Geomag latitude is what matters here. It's similar to southern NZ (or TAS), and aurorae are seen/ photographed fairly regularly around here.
