Wynard, Im curious as to why you do not use CNC?
Yes the kit includes the material. I estimate that uncut material would be about half the price of the kit. Would a supplier only charge a tad...
Alright, thank you all for those replies. The reason I asked is because Ive been looking at a few designers that offer either a kit with cnc cut...

As long as your three inch weld has introduced enough heat so that the thermal conductivity of the steel will not dissipate that heat below the...
Brent may very well be right in his assertion that stray arc strikes do not affect a steel hulls structural integrity. I dont know, I am not an...
From my welding inspector manual. "Stray Arcing: The damage on the parent material resulting from the accidental striking of an arc away from...
ordering the steel sandblasted and primed increase the price much?
You can burn a bare rod down to its flux by striking in the weld zone as far ahead of your intended start point as needed. The key is that you...
