    I wedged it between my knees while sitting with peels hitting plate on floor. Very inefficient but got accomplished. Walked to bottom of garden all my plants are ten feet plus and starting to flower. My trainee will trim the path to the bottom it was rather a challenge before he starts welding...

    Well my son has gone back to school my stress level went down and I am now in Hospice at home. I did have him cut some wood by hand, after a bunch of time he got it so that helped a bit.

    He was rejected by two other welding shops they did not want the responsibility. One of those times it was best to say no.

    Seems most of the bone cancer is left leg and hip and right arm and shoulder. None of the tools in wiring kit would be of any use to him. I will carve a little tool kit for my son but 95% of my tools he would never have a use for. I am working on a deal with my intern for him to take the pile...

    Teaching a New Welder - What Do You Wish You Had Been Shown?

Top of the list is a 30+ year old mast living in salt water is past it's lifespan. The mast demonstrated it was done by failing. Failed at the base...

    I went and sat in my garden and cried today. Had a go around with my son won't go into details but I feel like I failed as a father. Left me with the feeling that I want the end to come sooner. At least my apprentice is coming tomorrow can get some things done with out getting stressed up the...

    Teaching a New Welder - What Do You Wish You Had Been Shown?

    Would you weld a sailing mast? I rejected the job because think the person was looking to save money more than do it properly. I rejected it for the liability. Plus my right arm the bones broke wearing a clam shell brace because can't be put under to fix it. And my remaining lifespan is a few...

    Hell no, I have single edged blades by the sink which I used to scrape the stove cooktop. We were sponsored by Castrol so we had a bunch of those cutters and other trinkets. We ran a synthetic oil in the motor and used to fill the Castrol containers with the synthetic oil so it looked like we...

    I could walk about with a signboard "The end is coming" and I wouldn't be lying. My son went to use a single edged razor blade and was holding it by the wrong edge apparently at the age of 21 he has never used a razor blade. I was at a loss of words till I blurted out STOP. My intern is a sponge...
