Arno,
The best advice I can give you on your welding is---
get a tablet and a flat washer and a pencil. No joke!!!
Put the pencil point inside the washer and drag the washer around the
the tablet without making any marks on the paper. It's practice for holding
the stinger at a constant height above the work. When you can drag the washer
around without making any marks, you're ready for the next step. And the
next step is to practice welding. And keep practicing. The more you practice,
the better you'll get. Did you get a wire welder or stick??
You already have a tower??? Give us some more info.
I really think you'll be surprised how easy and simple your generator will
go together. I can just about guarantee a smile from ear to ear when it's
finished. One of the secrets is to focus on only one thing at a time. It's
a lot like lifting the hood of a car and looking at the engine compartment.
Most people get overwhelmed when they do that. But if you focus on only one
thing at a time, it becomes simple. It's just a lot of small pieces working
together. Just don't try to look at everything at the same time!!
