Right size tubing this time:)

Weld practice something useful?

Ok more practice but I don't like my plain bontrager bars, the ends point down to the ground. So bent a TT versus seat tube on swag rollers, crazy miter setup. Not perfect but maybe rideable:)

Weld practice for upcoming class with Carl

Going to Vicious Cycles to do a custom 4 day tig steel bike framebuilding course. Better start practicing! 058 and 880A

Thanks Don
