--Crimmeny what a pain in the ass! I've suddenly got a *lot* more respect for Jesse James & co. Cranking the power down on the Econotig wasn't the end of it. I wanted to at least have power to get a weld all the way thru, but that stuff's something like .040" on a good day; welding bends is the toughie; they've been thru a bender and the material has stretched on the outer part of the bend, to the point where it's just paper thin. If I could figure out how, I'd put a piece of something inside, to reinforce the weld; oh, well. --Have managed to get things that don't fall apart, but the welds look pretty crappy after all the hole-filling from burn-thrus. --So who's been down this road B4 me? Any tips appreciated...
