Re: pic: SAM's welded frame taking shape

Congrats on learning to weld! Your frame is looking fantastic. I have taught several of our students. One thing I would recommend doing continued learning on is joint construction techniques. With AL the welded joints typically anneal the material close to the joint.

We had an AL joint Failure at the least opportune time last year (finals at WMR). Had I added an overalp strap to the butt joint, it would not have failed. We fixed this for the CHMP, but WMR ended in a second place.
