keel cut complete, drilled for bulb and some welding
Today the rounded part of the keel was cut , 12.5mm holes drilled for the bolts holding on the lead bulb
and a small triangle of steel was welded to the leading edge of the keel,
this saves having to cut out a big chunk of steel on the front of the keel to achieve the correct shape.and of course the welder ran out of wire in the middle of the first weld, so I had to replace the 5kg spool
old wire packaging, so I have a record of it
new pack of wire installed
weld with new wire, it has slightly different characteristics
so I changed travel speed mid weld
finished up at 23h00, so I cannot grind and wire brush or it will disturb the neighbour so more to happen in the am
