This video focuses mainly on aligning parts for welding, which honestly was probably the most fun part of this project. There are several pieces that make up this weldment and they each need to be held in the correct place before pulling the trigger and fusing them together into one big piece of steel. It was a fun thought-puzzle to figure out how to hold each one and make small adjustments to get them positioned just-so.
I was pretty sure I was going to wrap up all the welding here, but I ran out of wire right at the end. A spool of welding wire lasts me years, and it was downright comical how close I was to finished when this one ran out. It's a little bit of a pain because this thing leaves my shop totally blocked up, but it's not the end of the world. Next episode I'll return with fresh wire, finish up the welding, and try this thing out!
