Back to hobbies ... and Life

Finally got a decent photo of our black pug. He's a beut! He has to think about things alot before dealing with them. He has to sniff and sniff and sniff on a spot and think about what it all means. While the boston terrier would just take a quick sniff and head out looking for things to eat or things to chase. The collar he wears has lots of spikes on it ... just to keep Sheba from chewing on it or using it to pull him around.

Steel Art Angling

Hey Seestor! Does it look like this angle is right?

I sure hope it was, because it's all welded up now ...
and I have no intention of grinding it down and
cutting it off to try again.

The clamps are holding another straight piece of tubing to connect the two together so that they stay in the same plane of reference. When I'm done, and you look down the length of it, there should be no side-to-side wobbles.

When I'm done welding the 3 visible edges.
I'll unclamp the straight tube and weld the last side.

No fotos will be shown of the scrapes and dings (the bloody kind) that I acquired today in the process of filing, grinding, and sanding. Use your imagination. My wife and daughter asked, "What happened to your left hand?!" "Oh, not much." "Does it hurt?" "Some. It's nothing." And there you have it.
