[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 990733, member: 243342"] Tw@ts... Heard absolutely nothing from the company since last Friday with no missing bits arriving in post. This is what I sent to them: ...and so I shall. Moving onto welding itself... I guess it's a nice little welder without having anything to compare it to. Having been practicing TIG and arc on scrap bits of metal on Wednesday and "fabricated" (if you want to call it that) a small welding base I can attach to my vice. [ATTACH=full]99312[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]99310[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]99311[/ATTACH] This is with a TIG after a few hours practice. Need to really steady my hand... And straighter eyes! TIG is tidier but arc is easier but messier - still need to figure out correct amperage and arc lengths for each. Next, I'll be fabricating an arm for the PM so I can move the declination jack mounting point higher up the frame. And perhaps attach counter-weight like [USER=175005]@John[/USER] did. [/QUOTE]
