Hello world! I'm back. Been a busy time at work and it's not going together any easier but I'm persevering with the project. Why does it always seem that I'm trying to work on a project when it's below zero outside?

Acquired a welder at Lidl and seems to do the job
Also bought the gears I need

I want to rig a test setup for a weapon test. Get a handle on how I'll operate it and see what kind of power it has.
I can attach extra mass near the end of I think it's needed.
