Got a TIG? Want to support me/FreeEMS? Need a small favour!

Post by Fred »

Or even a MIG?

The most expensive part of this will be postage unless you're in Europe, I guess.

I need a couple of tubes made with O2 bungs in them. They need to be a specific diameter, mild steel is fine, but thin wall is essential. Then it's just a matter of welding an O2 bung into the side cleanly at the right position in a tube of the right length, making a second the same, and posting them over. Bonus points for something resembling a clamp device. I guess I'll have to sketch it, but in any case, it'll be simple enough. I'd do it myself if I had my MIG in NZ, but I don't, I'm stuck here in Spain without a welder.

If anyone would be up for making such a thing, I'd appreciate it very much!

Fred.
