I took some of your advice and clamped a copper piece behind the blow holes and welded them shut. Knowledge is KING!
Also found out it is a good idea to wear some gloves when grinding as grinders bite if you are not careful!!
I'm quite proud to see it go from a piece cut out that looked like this,
to this...
Not show quality work, but a start.
But then of course there is the boo
boo
