/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>711895
Hey thanks for the tips.

I wasn't going to weld it like that, I will clamp the pieces down before welding and do one part after the other, making sure everything is straight. I have a digital protractor and water levels to check up on things before I weld them. I'll probably connect the scott frame with the rear wheel last because the rest should be relatively easy to get straight since the square tubing has flat sides. I had planned to do it exactly like you said with the spot welds, sounds like I'm on the right track.

As for the joints, that picture isn't the final thing, it was just an early test roughly put together to see if everything is the right size. I have since done some work on the joints to make sure everything fits, pic related.
I got one question though, do I HAVE to have a gap? The square tubing in the front fits together almost completely flush since I cut it with an angle saw. I did chamfer the edges though.

I'm pretty confident about the overall fit, everything came out quite nice. That's why I'm scared of fucking up the welding to the point where I have to cut something off and start over. I'll definitely practice more and try to join some pieces. How can I tell if a weld is too cold?
