Looking at those beads brings back memory when I was learning to weld. :lol:

Look fellas, practice on other pieces of metals and get good running beads. Try thin materials to thick materials.

Spot the piece into place and then run the bead. Over time you will be able to judge how long you should lay the bead before you come out on the other side.

Also, most important is the root pass. It has to be absolutely clean. The root pass will make or break the strength of the weldment.

give a man a watch and he'll allways know what time it is. give him two and he can never be sure again.

Things are rarely just crazy enough to work, but they're frequently just crazy enough to fail hilariously.

I bult those about 10+ yrs ago for a friend's Land Rover. No dimensions, sorry. I used Chain link pieces for the straps. He said it all worked quite well.

Definitely a job and a half........but why would he want a blah SS pool? The things they do now days with plaster, rock, brick etc... is so nice. Oh well! The fab work looks great though!
