Reply:That is real nice Planet X. What kind of work do you do?

Reply:MikeW, work? manual labor.   If you mean metal working stuff- see that $pit behind the Hobart? It started me on my welding/tool, aquisition journey. I used to be (still somewhat) a 'tard' when it came to wrenching or welding, and paid 'pros' to do work on it for me. But the work often came out half-assed and as I re-did the 'pros' work overtime it is now just me that does the 'half-assed' work . ScottV- your womens ranch somewhere in Central Oregon? No, the 'fabricator' machine would be at a disadvantage in that contest. But an engine driven welder is on the 'list'"after a long day of doing nothing...its gooood to kick back" Pumbaa
