@AV8TER that's amazing if it's really a human weld and not robo weld!
I was considering taking a night class in welding or asking my neighbor to show me sometime.
Although I love to learn and my mechanical ability is limited-- somewhat by choice, I guess, as I grow my nails out when it's "Mary Kay Season"-- one of the main reasons I don't actively pursue welding is the reason I am on this site: I love unique vehicles that are easy to work on and modify. Thus, to be totally honest, if I knew how to weld I'd likely be buying up every remotely-interesting cheap vehicle for miles around and be building Mad Max-type vehicles as a hobby. Really. That's the #1 main reason I resist the urge. I'd probably have so many that I wouldn't be able to decide which to drive. I think I get this from two families that I grew up with, where the parents and older kids did just that. I remember some of their wildest creations.
Does anyone here who grew up in the 80s remember Tonka Steel Monsters toys? My mom wasn't wild about them so I only ever owned the smaller ones, but my neighbors had the full size ones. To this very day those toys inspire me and some of the wacky ideas that lurk in my mind, of what I'd someday like to build. Hmm...time to go start another thread, actually! I've taken enough bandwidth here
