Aligned….

Wow, it worked. The jig is straight and adjusted. Now just need to get my welds a little cleaner and we are off to the races here.



This junction is some fun mitering…once it's cleaned up it'll fit up nice.



Barlow is still completely nonplussed by the whole affair.



Welding day #1 was a frustrating bummer. Flows all wrong, settings all off….just a bunch of trial and error on some practice miters I made. Some progress however….can't deny. Even if it all looked like the tin man's poo. I just spent the past hour machining up some more practice miters that I'm gonna hit later this week.

onward.

Sliders…for fun.

Making chips...

First off, I would like to introduce you all to Mr Bender. Mr Bender? A few words?


"Hiyinz. Where's all the dames? Who's got a light in this joint?"

Ok, there you go. A gentleman from the gun.

Working on Dan's bike tonight. Assignment, miter top tube.



Gigi all cockeyed and all. She's feeling it.



Digging in.


Thanks Dan for picking up big boy here…he was hungry.

Aren't there basketballs in Latvia?
