Hi Jim,

Here's the little metal yak I told you I chose for my first cutting and welding project, along with a picture of what it's SUPPOSED to look like.

I'm not gonna win any awards, as you can see; but it was fun, and my friend who works at Apple will appreciate it.

I cut it before I spoke with you, with the 0 and 0.5 tips, rather than the 0 and the 1. (The steel was 1/16" thick.)

I wonder if all the scale and slag I created made it hard to weld up. In the places I could file it a bit before welding, things seemed to go better. Is this likely true?

I will try the tip combination you suggested on my next project.

Thank you again for your advice.

Best,

--Kira
