Cut this out with my torch this morning. Didn’t come out as good as I hoped but it’s probably as good as I should have expected given my extreme lack of experience. Gonna clean it up and let him weld it on to his bench himself.
One thing I haven’t figured out is what to do when the metal and makes a mess. I can’t get a clean cut after that happens. Happened on the C, 2, and 8. Seems like the metal changes and doesn’t take the heat the same way. Always have to start from a different direct and cut back into the mess. I think for this project I should have used a smaller tip. I’ll go get a 00 like Hogslayer78 suggested to me and maybe try some more practice.
Still learning little by little. A torch is intimidating before I get started but once I get going it’s a very simple tool that does some pretty cool stuff pretty easy.
