Nice job! With my welding it would have been a better sprinkler system.

With those fabricating skills, I can see a new challenger to "American Chopper". Snohikers Custom Tractors! Ground up custom builds,  Excellent work. I now realize why my talents are limited. Some people evidently got others share of talent! |

I am constantly envious of people with welding equipment and the skills to use it. I would like a welder and a free pass to "get over the learning curve free". /p
In highschool, I took a brief welding course, half semester kind of thing. I learned mainly that my classmates were real jokers who always cranked the voltage settings to the max, causing excessive spark showers, and other forms of terrorism. On the acetylene scene, I got real good at burning holes in metal. The course ended when I started to almost improve. (sigh).
I think about getting a basic arc welder - don't know anything, if that would be a good solution. They seem cheaper. I was always fascinated by the power side of this - big bright light, high heat, gluing steel to steel permanently. Another skill I admire is machinist. And fabrication. Welding seems the hot item for tractor fabs. And I have steel lying around in my garage, and can't do much with it other than cut and drill and file and grind and bolt. That's handy; but welding = priceless. Lots to learn; how to get there. Maybe it's not so out of reach. |
