I tacked it loosely into position to make sure it sat in the apprture square & that it was the right angle to the valance

For such a refined result, it shocks me to see hammers, saws and chisels being used! And relying on how it looks to the eye.
In my work I learn't that no matter how much measuring you do, if it doesn't look right - then it probably isn't!
Well done Nige - it's looking good!
Hi Roger, I love gas welding as I find it so therapeutic & of course oxy acetylene is just so versatile compared to MIG or TIG welding. The parts I've fabricated above have been MIG welded, as I can just hold them butted together & give them a quick tack, just got to watch I don't burn my fingers doing it thoughRoger King wrote:Yes, I love doing metalwork - with the right kit and experience you feel you can make almost anything. But I've not done much ali - Nige, do you gas weld your ali joints? I've thought about a TiG but get the strong impression that whilst they're good for manufacture on a bench they're not so well suited to car bodywork - need 3 hands etc. So I'm guessing a gas torch, with no filler?
They did it badly going by some of the stuff that I've seen over the yearsRoger King wrote:Yes, beautiful. Does make you wonder how they did it in the fifties, doesn't it?
