Hello, new member here from Sweden.
This forum is awesome, and I have learned much here.
My father is doing some blacksmith's work and wanted to have a tool like the "Smithin Magician" - http://www.blacksmithsjournal.com/smithin_magician/
So I came up with a similar construction made of 20x20mm and 5x20 mild steel and some 0.8mm schims of sheet metal.
So what do you people think of the welds? OK, for a newbie?

I used my 150A Kemppi Minarcmig so penetration might not be the best but i don't think it will fall into pieces..
Now I just have to make som dies for him.
