Joins in the 'Curve Jig'

 Made a second curve and used the jig to weld the two, 3 metre lengths together. So now have about a quarter circle in one piece. The join is smooth and even!!

Next time though I will put the jig on the ground, or at least out on the grass. Hard work getting the big piece out of the jig and around the veranda posts...

The weld still needs a little work now its out of the jig. Really could do with a gas MIG welder...

Oh and I have 8 600mm lengths of 'rail' with Pete at McBurnie's to be machined for 275mm into blades for the points...
