 This is all pretty self explanatory, but basically you will want to weld the ratchet body to your back cover, and then weld your front cover to the tool attachment point on your ratchet.

 What kind of welder are you using? That weld looks very weak, and if it's an ARC welder, than thats understandable

Not to be rude, but are you implying ARC welding is inherently weak?  I'd say not much aside from skilled TIG would look good in this situation.  He's trying to weld light gauge sheet to hardened tool steel, definitely not a prescription for an easy weld.

No, I meant that the kind of welds ARC and TIG/MIG make are very different, and that if it was TIG/MIG, it could be weak, but ARC's welds are different.

Welds are weak only from a skill standpoint not from the type of welding being done. MIG can not be weak when that is what is used to assemble a NASCAR.
