Sunday's are for welding....




Welded up the parts for the new solar oven frame. Didn't have the correct size hole saw for the pole mount so had to fight to fit it in. The thing is a heavy monster, but once I get it counter-balanced and the electronics rigged for auto tracking it should work like a charm....just set it and forget it. 79,97,46,0,C

    Happy National Welding Month. Looks like a sturdy frame.

    Nicely done, John. The heavy part may not be a problem, you can teach Benito to move it around for you. Of course your Texas Mom said to put it on wheels.

    Get your own TV show on the house network! I'd watch everyday. You could use that frame to change your engine in a pinch!

    John, why do you back out of your driveway instead of driving out frontways?

    I back out because it takes miles off the odometer.... ;)

    Great looking work on the oven and frame. The auto-tracking sounds pretty high tech. Can't wait to see it in action.
