>the type of welding I do is just a result of finding what works for me, an amatuer and i would recommend it to anyone starting out , it is, i understand a recognized type of welding by professionals but perhaps not used so much as it invelves the time used to form the flange edges

What I like about it is that it gives you radial dimensional stability. The resulting webs will strengthen the engine enormously. Look at the 'real' Lockwoods and the SNECMA Escopette and you will see such reinforcements used by the big boys. I can't forget Gary Robinson's incredible imploding Lockwoods. A web of this kind would surely have prevented his engines going flat.
