The connection on top the tank looks like a blob of bubble gum. The
end end of the flywheel has chatter marks. The tank is tack welded to the mounting brackets. I gave it a 3. You asked. |

That, I think, is the mark of a true craftsman, but don't let them discourage you. This looks to be an interesting project for a beginner. Please tell us about how you chose the project, what problems you had in completing the project, and how you solved them. |

The ends of the boiler are welded much better than the pressure tap.
Boilers are dangerous, you might want to cut it out and try again with a larger insert. Try mastering gas welding or cranking up the amps on your mig. Could probably use a counterbalance. It's not fancy, but nice work for a beginner. -- Stupendous Man, Defender of Freedom, Advocate of Liberty |

guys.. check it!! http://www.youcanrate.com/index.php?...23&obbydata_id... I would have to know how old you were. If your a kid its one thing but older I'd be much more critical. I build large tanks for example and the welds , which are not well lit, are to0 large in porportion and also the screws for example. If your a kid its pretty good. If an old fart like me then try another. Rosco |
