When i weld up the ferruels to kegs i set up the keg on a level part of the shed floor or bench then use a small level to get the ferruel right and then tack to the keg always checking the ferruel to make sure its still level as when you tack one spot it normally pulls to one side .Three tacks is allways the best bet on a round item to keep it true and level. I also use a flap disc on a grinder ( one only used for staino) to buff up where the welding is going to be as it gives a nice clean de contaminated area to weld and the weld fuses a bit better if done
Great to see your stick welding is commin along now all the best with ya staino welding mate :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I bet you're pretty chuffed with doing the work yourself.

Don't worry mate, in no time you'll have the slag lifting off the weld by itself again.
