using a standard ARGON/Co2 mix looking rounnd on the net that seemed to be the gas to use, plus thats what i already had! i think the dearest part would be the 316 welding wire luckily i had a roll which i won a few years ago. Dean

Looks good! What are your finishing plans? Grind it all down and polish? Leave the beads?
I'll have to try that slit idea next time! I did pie cuts before and that would be so much easier.
