Metal Snake

Metal snake I used by cutting out a side of 3mm square tube. With the rectangle produced, I cut notches along it's length and curled them, creating loops.

Tube to Plate Welding and Testing

Some pipe to plate practice for college. 

I then cut it open so I could see the penetration into the metal.

I then cut the weld into 4 pieces, then tested the welds by hammering them.

I was using 3mm steel, so maybe not the best thickness to test the welds due to the easy bending. But they held it out so far.
