Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone on All Metal Shaping!

More progress today on the console, time to weld in the back section.. We had it clamped like so:



But on second thought, it should be clamped on the upper portion...



....and to keep the bottoms from sliding out from under, some spacers were made out of scrap wood....



Tacked and welded with the TIG....







Jake cut out some corners, tipped some flanges, and used the Vise Grip tucking tool to gather up some of the excess metal. A torch heats up the tucks for an easy flattening.







Trimmed and test fit...










Inner corner finished in the same fashion...
