When welding the dropouts and parts of the pivot, I will need to join thick steel plate (4mm or 5mm) to thin wall tubing. Melting the plate whilst not destroying the tubing is challenging. My first efforts were, as expected, poor.
Things improved however.
I'm at the stage now where most of my welds are OK, but I still have an occasional disaster. I'm trying to become consistent, as its possible to ruin hours of work with one bad weld, or by putting too much heat in and distorting the assembly. Practice, practice...
