It warps easily if you are not used to working with it. If you need I could weld you up anything you need in sst. I do everything from 20 gauge sheet metal to 3/8" 100% through welds.

Yeah, I had read a fair amount about welding stanles a while back, and thought that tig was the way to go. Thanks for the info, and your weld is beautiful!!!
I may have to take you up on that offer. I have a lst based 6th scale buggy project in the "brainstorming" phase and I will need a front shaft made up out od a lst cvd. Can you weld stainless to steel, as I can imagine the lst shaft is chromed steel. I doubt it is stainless. I had to cut it with a fiber disk, the saw would not touch it so it must be hardened, or maybe stainless...
