Practice frames completed

I finished welding up a couple of frames to practice fabric covering before we cover real plane parts.  The frames were made from electrical conduit, and welded up with the TIG machine.  The galvanized coating on this cheap conduit causes issues with TIG welding (sparking and sputtering), so we used a buffing wheel to remove the coating before welding them up.  Hours: 3.0

Two completed frames
