    Clever idea, nice work & beautiful TIG welds.
    Minor correction...it's a hexagon shape...6 sides....octagon would be 8 sides, and I'm not aware of any 8 sided nuts or bolts, but I've not seen it all yet.

    Those are some really pretty welds, one of these days I am going to learn tig welding.

    I'd like to see some pictures of the weld being cut sorta like picture 5 but cut through the weld with a close up of the weld.

    That looks like a great idea. I tig weld quite a bit & find that my "distance moved" varies too much with the round & can see this helping me to make better looking welds. Will give it a try.

    Sir, you are an artist with an angle grinder. Far better than I when I used those 22 pound monsters when I worked in metal building fabrication. Of course I was 36 years younger!
