Actually it’s two independent frames, one of which, the seat is inserted into another, playing the role of the back. Each of them has its own characteristics, to ensure the reliability of a reciprocal link in position without additional fastening elements. Consider each frame separately.

WELDING YOUR

WELDING - ITSAlmost a quarter of a century are a subscriber of the journal “modelist-Konstruktor”. About the same age are engaged in electric welding apparatus (ESA). Convinced that the most appropriate mass and power “svarochnik” – with a toroidal magnetic core (for example, from a burnt-out electric motor power 3-5 kW). Manufacturing technology of such devices has been maintained in the pages of “Modeller-designer” (see, in particular, publication in № 8’92, 11’92, 3’94, 9’94, 1 ’96, 3’96, 8’97, 11’99).

If a smaller value of this parameter decreases the power at most – heated magnetic core, and with it the whole of ESA.

To date built five of these trailers, and they all showed a high operational reliability.
