So far the easy bit. Part of this repair was some wlding work which I planned on doing myself. Not a problem if you have welded before, but I had never welded before.

I went out and bought myself a good welder, as good equipment makes the job easier. And then I had to practice how to weld.

The welder I bought.

Some of my first welds.

These are at different power settings.
