haha muzila..
Not sure that it would be worth making another.. at least now how this ones been made.
Made it at home so it was a 6" grinder/many cutting discs/140amp arc welder maxed out with 2.4 rods,
ran a few 3.2's but not for penetration ... & more time than I would like.

Got a plasma sitting in the corner but its 3phase.. painful doing a job like this and looking at it :)

Not sure that I've finished yet.. might trim the bottom corner off the guards and extend out either side..
maybe some bush bars too.. just thinking about how at the moment.
cheers
