    As a retired Coded welder with over 50 years experience in MMA, Mig, Tig and Oxy / Acetylene, this is a good repair! Nice to see a craftsman willing to pass on his knowledge! Good man and Bollocks to the Thumbs downers!!

      I agree.
      I did this king of repairs for many years on a daily basis. I learned the basics from my father, and built on that. I always had the impression that anybody could do it. But the truth is, it takes talent, skills, knowledge, practice experience and the right equipment.
      The hardest puzzle I had to do, was probably to put back together a brand new magnesium chainsaw casing after it got run over by a tractor. That got my skills stretched to the limit to get all the parts to fit right and true. But I saved the machine and the customer was very happy.

      @@sailjunky7326 Yep, My Dad taught me too! He served his apprenticeship with Swan, Hunter, Wigham and Richardson on the river Tyne. You have to have a 'can do' attitude and always be hungry for knowledge also being unafraid to venture into the unknown! Don't be afraid to experiment and don't be afraid of failure!

    I'm surprised you used the method you did. I would have guessed you had cut off the damaged section leaving space to weld without affecting the mating face and welded on a length of tube of matching diameter and thickness.
    The end result, especially considering the method, is outstanding!

      At my old job I had to do this kind of repair all the time. It was a pain in the ass because the robots would always burn through this tiny 1mm tube with a 90 degree bend on it. Repairing that thin of metal is difficult enough but adding that annoying bend was the worst.
