[QUOTE="PT73, post: 266585, member: 7726"] Never welded aluminium before, but as with any welding helps being able to see. Ha, funny you mention using caution and drilling your hand. A few months ago when I started my Walbanker I did exactly that! At the time it didn't really hurt, but my concern was I only had half of the drill bit left in the chuck. For a while I seriously thought it was embedded in my bloody hand because I could not find it anywhere...so out came the detector to check. Lets say I was very relieved it did not go off! It is a real science around water flow, pump pressure, riffle angles, heights, vortexes and so on. This project has kept the mind real active over the last few months and provided plenty of challenges along the way. I also had trouble obtaining the catwalk mesh, so I made hungarian riffles from ali angle. I do have plans using catwalk, but Iam really interested to see how my riffles go. I have only 3 riffles spaced 100mm apart, as this seems to be the optimum distance for hungarians. I mentioned the Bunnings spag mat, which you have, but I also got hold of the spag mat from Big W ($12). I think I am leaning towards using this as it is a little shorter in height and it is backed and the master (Wal) swears by these mats. cheers [/QUOTE]
