I fired up the new welder and it worked great. My skills have diminished from lack of use, and I've never done sheetmetal like this before, but I think it went well. This is a very tedious process though. Tack...tack...tack...etc...grind...tack...tack....etc...

I got most of it welded out, but still have a lot of grinding to do, and more welding, then more grinding, etc... Here is the current status of the apparatus...
