grinding flush coupons before bend testing?

[Mid Wales welder]

If you really want to cut down the effort needed then just stamp F on the face bends.

Everyone knows there's no f'in root.

Yes, all the weld build up and root penetration.


As for those nails, we will need loads of them when we board up the tunnel after Brexit. fftopic: Whoops, sorry.

We wish

All done and Coupons bent, etched and nick broken and finally tacked up. Even did another butt weld as a root and two caps, with my new Phil Weeks Warrior MIG on 0.8mm wire ( very nice set).. Bought it 2nd hand and had a pretty full reel of 0.8mm.Should get an ABC level 2 in MIG for my 50th bthday pressie! Still it was cheaper than a Ferrari!

Cheers! Should have said the MIG is new to me , but it's 14 months old and in mint condition.
