If you look half way down the front face you can see where I had done some stitches of the 6mm winch plate to the 4mm face, when I'd done the whole thing you could see all the weld lines on all pieces



I ran it on some 3mm as well but haven't gone any thinner, I'll see if I get a chance to try it on some real thin stuff this weekend.
