Yes, it did warp. No I didn't give a s***. It was practice for getting the machine settings right.
I have time for it as everything is working against even gettin' started on this sumbeach. I gots no parts, no car, no talent, but I have a welding machine & some scrap metal.....but feel free to pick my nits.
This will be more effective after I screw up something permanently. Be patient, I'm sure you'll get a neener, neerer, neener moment.
Butt joints are out. I bought a cheep air powered joggler to make lap joints......humm, better save some scrap.
