My stainless work has been limited. I MIGged some beer making equipment for my son. I TIGged a widget for the kitchen for my daughter in law. Back purge has seemed complicated, sugaring would ruin most pieces.
#2 son has a Husquvarna scary powerful dirt bike. I have about 5000 hours on dirt bikes, I won't ride it! Besides I can't touch the ground sitting on the seat. Two years ago before I owned a TIG machine the exhaust broke about two inches from the cylinder. Howard was busy, it took him half the summer to fix it, I think he ended up farming it out to someone he knows. It broke again. As a new one is shockingly expensive, I gave it a shot.
I left two broken edges as mating locators, ground everything else leaving a 1/32" root. After tacking 4 places I ground out the rest. Stainless is amazingly easy! Time will tell how long it lasts, but it looks good. I used 309 rod 3/32"
