  5. I just think it is so cool that you take the time to make the metal do what it really needs to do - that no matter what it takes, you do the job as it needs to be done. Not many folks have the skills, attitude and relentlessness to do the quality of work you do - so stick with it exactly as you do. :)

    ^^^^^ I agree, at first glance that looked like a very solid 3Window, but there is so many little things that need to be corrected to make things right. Always fun and educational to watch a Flop project. Bob

    I don't know what brand TIG welder you use, but when they start to run TV ads you are going to make some serious money as their spokesperson. :) Bob
