Hey man, your piece looks great!
I must say I don't know much welding myself, I always did woodworking and it was only a few years ago when I started messing around w metal.
I got my welding machine online, this page works for me, maybe you wanna check it out... http://www.surplex.com/en/machines/c...ment-8112.html

70mm under gunnell stitch welds done.....thank god for that!!!! What an awkward, neck breaker, gun just fits, close one eye, smell the singed hair job that was.
First pic wont rotate for me, welds are overhead.

Your welder seems to be humming along very nicely.
I notice that you aren't filling your craters at the end of your welds. That can lead to cracking. It would probably pay to pause at the end of your welds and fill your craters, which looks better into the bargain as well.

Craig,
Looks like you have had a big week-end. The pain from all that should have set in by now. Looks great.

Have been busy over winter with work, thought Id upload a few updated pics. Not much done but all prepped to do the longitudinal welds.

Have been wondering where you've been Craig. Fancy work having to take precedents over your boat build. It's looking good.
