HM does that make it a CL500/550 ??  :), are those MIG welds ground flat afterwards ? Nice execution overall though. Could make a jig from that and hand it off to somebody to replicate in TI :-).

Look to be TIG welds using too much filler. Wonder if the pipes were purged while welded? The insides of stainless pipes tell the quality tale…

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

Nice effort. With a coat of paint those would look pretty neat!
