Re: anyone there?? ...welding

["D. Blake" <dblake@bright.net>]

Hello Dave:
You got an adult votech educational center nearby?  I took a 1-year course
in Heating and Air Conditioning at a local Vocational school in the
mid-80's.  Learned a little about everything including cutting, welding,
silver soldering, etc.  I wish I had paid more attention.  Still, I learned
a lot.  I did my best welding with wire-feed TIG.  Oh the bead is just
perfect if you set it up right.
Big Dave

>To the dismay of many: I went and got that big old pressure tank thing from
that guy, the cool one with all the rivets. $10. Even if I don't make it
into a crude working semi-dry sub -- I've been thinking of welding junk onto
it, painting it, and making it *look* like a sub -- and putting it at the
end of the driveway...

I-don't-even-have-a-welder-yet sort of beginners here. >
