Thats looking good, your doing really well

The only thing i would say is you could possibly do with upping the power of your welder a notch. The weld looks a little high. Dont think im being an a*** about it though just trying to help.

My welding is getting better. Current settings are 0.6 wire : 9l per min argon/Co2 mix : 1m of wire in 20 secs : power setting 2 (what ever that is)

I've got 2 windows to do. This and another behind the sliding door. It's strange but the metal behind the sliding door window and the windscreen is near perfect.

Luckly - I have just found a local Camper Van Man with a workshop devoted to fitting out campers (He speaks a little english). I will get him to do the actual fitting of the windows.

Dutch "camper van man" suddenly does not speak such good English when I showed up with my van in the flesh .

Looks like i'll be cutting and fixing the wood myself to hold the window in place (Luckily I took some photos of the old rotten wood)

I trust your taking all that rockwool out..so his english has vacated eh, well another task to learn, fun int it

is it sat high because its a dragged weld ?

dont know, looks maybe welded rht to left as the snot is start up and finnish is final also heat pattern on metal looks like pushing weld
mike

ahh but the finish is on the right..to me
so he could be a lefty

lefty eh? thats thrown a spanner int works... will have to agree to differ and await his reply
mike

ive changed my mind back to the original..its a dragged weld from left to right and he finished it by moving right to left leaving that full stop at the end ..or..his glove got snagged up on summats at the end

you sound like your wriggling and groping for a reason to change your mind, you'll never make a polititian

if the world was run how i wanted it...there would be a lot of happy tax payers about

so your saying right to left ..im saying left to right...best have a quid on it then

Ok then A PUBLIC QUID, if I win it goes to club kitty
as for running bthe country then Im with you and I reckon all on this site would have simmilar views though mine on what to do with them when they get their 5 years with no parole may differ from othewrs.

ok an 80-90 quid bet...unless you wanna go for a fiver ?

I think but i'm not sure, I went left to right. I used left hand to steady and pushed left to right. It looks rubbish at the start because I could not get the distance right. I feel more natural going left to right but I am right handed.

Should I be doing something different?
