The Creation of a Turret Clock

Tonight spent a short time trying to do the fagot weld.  Had mixed results.  Probably not getting it hot enough.  I usually work during the day so I think working late is throwing off my judgement on the welding temp.  The colors of the metal look different at night as compared to daylight.  I did try to do several welds on 1/2 stock and had no problems.  So, this weekend I will be attending an SCA event.  I plan to spend part of the day just trying to get the weld down pat...
