Hi Gents:
For the first time, I decided to stay in and have a quiet New Years Eve. I woke up on the first feeling great and ready to work on the Midget. Fired up the small garage heater and enjoyed a cup of joe whilst catching up on some email.
I then got both vertical rails cut--thanks God there was a mention on this forum about the frame rails tilting up for caster purposes. Anyway, I got all my steel cleaned and clamped into the vice. Sharpened a couple tungstens, set the machine up and went to turn on the gas...only WTF? I left the gas on all holiday! A FULL TANK! So there was to be no welding at all. The frustrating thing is that I have no one to blame but myself. It's not like the kids were out screwing around with the argon.
After an hour of being bored, I decide to just to use the MIG. I tell my wife the plan and she scolds me for taking short cuts on her project car.
So I went to the mall :frown:
Progress to resume this weekend. As a mild distraction, I got all my cafe racer parts back from powdercoat, and the bike is calling my name as well.
