Alloy welding anyone ?

Postby Ruishy1 on Mon Mar 01, 2010 9:46 am

Got the cash together for an ac dc tig welder and will be getting it within the next week or so.
it can do up to half inch thick.

Does nayone want anything made up in alloy ? lower arms ? manifolds etc ?

Mods this is not a for sale thread or trading thread yet, if people want stuff, il happily pay trader fees :)

Anything i make will have a disclaimer guys, as i dont have liability insurance, but will be well tested before anything is handed over :aviator:

Alloy = A mixture of two or more metals.
Ally = Abbreviation of aluminium.
