The project is finished other than a couple of minor plumbing fittings.  I got pretty busy for the first part of this year and only started welding towards the end of July.  Only 1 burn through.  Of course it was on an inside corner where I couldn't get the grinder in to clean up after filling it.

Couldn't get the grinder in? Sounds like a reason to buy another tool.

Looks pretty good, although the two ends on the right hand side are just looking for nuts or guts to ram into them.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

The "house" magnets?  Love those things, used them on all the tube welding.
