Thanks mr opti  :) I was quite amazed at how it turned out . One thing im not sure about is how far down to let the rod burn to  :-\ Being an old skinflint i try and get as much out of an arc rod as possible  ;D , but the nearer the end it starts playing up and sticking . Its quite satisfying building steel things  :)

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
