Not entirely satisfied with this weld. I had a look from the other side and the seam didn't achieve uniform penetration. The next piece I welded in was a lot better though -- with really nice, uniform penetration. Sadly I didn't take any pictures of it, but I spent 5 minutes under the car, staring at the weld, grinning and thinking "okay, that's a good one. hope I remember what I did to achieve that".
I was a bit impatient, so I did the incremental spot welds a bit too quickly and as a result the metal buckled a bit, but I don't really care -- this weld won't be visible and the main thing is that it is a strong weld.

I took this shot at the dock where the USS Hornet is moored. It was a combination of metal supports and other metal shapes, rather grey and uninteresting except for some good lines. Now it's rather jazzy:)
The New Haven Unit at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bromsgrove has recently been enhanced by artwork in glass and metal by Steven Cartwright Glass Designs.

The new installation takes the form of blowing autumnal leaves, beginning with a filigree metal screen masking the former entrance, with individual fused glass leaves applied to the exterior of the building to guide the visitor around the corner to the new main entry; this is flanked by two free-standing 'stained glass monoliths', with further colourful leaf forms executed in fused slabs of glass set in cut steel matrices.
The installation was completed in August 2013. For more on the project see below:- www.cartwrightglassdesigns.co.uk/projects/new-haven/
Tucked away from one of the main thoroughfares of Bristol, St Stephen's church could be easily missed were it not for its splendid late medieval tower which asserts itself on the skyline of the city above the neighbouring rooftops. It is a most handsome example of the sort of extravagantly decorated church towers more commonly found in nearby Somerset and dates to the latter part of the 15th century. The exterior of the church is otherwise a little difficult to appreciate being so hemmed in by surrounding buildings.
Within the church is very light, thanks to the generously proportioned clerestorey, and stylistically is all of a piece, having been rebuilt in the 1470s. Due to the limitations of the site there is no structurally defined chancel, instead the nave appears to continue unbroken to the east wall, where the sanctuary is defined more by its furnishings.
There are several items of note here, a multitude of memorials line the walls but the most interesting are the medieval tombs with effigies in the north aisle and a large Jacobean tomb to the south. The eagle lectern is a fine example of medieval metalwork and was brought here from St Nicholas's church after it suffered wartime damage.
I didn't have a lot of time left to explore this church so my shots are handheld and not the best, but happily it will be easy to revisit as it is normally kept open and welcoming to visitors.
My favourite bell had a little house on the top of it.
Kyneton Lost Trades Fair - held at the racecourse. The fair celebrates the art of skilled manual work, traditional crafts and trades, from coopers (barrel makers), jewellers, shoe makers and farriers to creators of saddles and penny farthings, shingle splitters and fletchers (arrow makers).
It was a fantastic turnout with thousands of people there on the Saturday and I am guessing an equally impressive turnout on the Sunday.
I think this is my number two for the Guardian competition, I'm not overly keen on it myself but it meets the brief.

This mysterious object’s form seems to be loosely based on a common leather or textile purse but its function could only have been symbolic. It was obviously made for a patron of the highest status, with imagery evoking courtly music, dining and entertainments like hunting and falconry. The richest part of its decoration is concentrated on the top of the lid, where a miniature banqueting scene shows an enthroned couple flanked by a retinue of attendants. Remarkably, it has preserved almost all its gold and silver inlay
