Turning out awesome.
Would it be possible to see the finished welds surrounding these engine plate mounts? It may just be the way the picture is but the gaps seem fairly large for TIG. I would like to see how these turned out after final welding.
Thanks and keep the pics coming.

To help you understand the "gaps" you think you're seeing, It might help if you thought about how the laser tube cutter works. The laser always points toward the centerline of the tube, therefore the cut is always perpendicular to the outside edge of the tube. So in tube junctions where the intersected tube isn't parallel with the edge of the cut, it can look like there is a gap even though the inside edge of the cut is closely hugging the intersected tube.
