Re: Exxos's B-roll blog of nothing in particular
Sofa bed broke again 
Metal just so thin its stupid as its a support bar !
Bought a cheap MIG welder off evilbay. The old welder I have just isn't any good. So hope the new one will be easier to use.
I also have a block of wood under the frame now taking the weight. Will likely just leave the blocks there. So even if my welding is bad, which it probably will be, at least it should help stop the frame from twisting as much.
.. and yes, girlfriend is very messing dropping crumbs down the side of the sofa it seems!! I'm sure a few sparks from the arc welding will burn those right up though !

Re: Exxos's B-roll blog of nothing in particular
Brings back memories of your welding if the office chair. Try not to set everything on fire 
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
