First project for the new machine now that everything is up and running as it should be!
In our kitchen is a cabinet which is around as wide as an old style budget mini CRT TV. The new TV is way too wide for the cabinet but the cabinet has to stay so a solution was sought!
As the walls of the cabinet are fairly thick, weight wasn't too much of an issue so I made a screw-in bracket thingy out of some corner section and zintec I had lying around...Remains to be seen whether or not the whole thing will be a bit front heavy but maybe the bottom shelf can house the big cookbooks from now on!
Hoping these welds should be adequate as the TV only weights just under 4kg. Had a few problems with porosity at the top of the joints done in an upward position for some reason, maybe more flow rate is required? Fairly happy with the results though as I had never really attempted going upwards before.
Tried to clean everything up as much as possible and bevel any T joints but it still looks a bit messy, probably due to bad torch angle perhaps?
Any feedback is very welcome. This isn't quite finished and needs some holes drilling in the zintec plate before cleaning up and primer coat. I am very new to this sort of thing and it's nice to try something that isn't just sticking bodywork together with tacks to test out the Eurostar 150!
