It was too nice a day to clean the garage,
so instead, I made this fella. except for the ribs
and the, um, hoo-hoo, he's all out of parts of an
old cast-iron stove that I saved from being turned
into Toyotas... The block in the center is about
1" thick, more-or-less solid cast iron -- it was
to heat hot water from the stove. Everything
else is pretty thin section -- probably aout 1/8"
so he's not too sturdy. That's why he's leaning
against a board. (8"wide, btw, for scale)
All welding was AC (that's all I have for stick) Forney
Ni rod from the H/w store. Was about 150a +/-.
The rod was expensive ($20 for 10, I think?)
but it's worth it for CI. My previous experiments
trying to Mig CI with plain steel wire were, um,
not as successful as I'd hopedI guess the experts
really do know what they're talking about :-)
