My father-in-law and his brothers owned a machine shop, and when I was a pup he would give advise on stick welding. I watched and I listened, but it wasn't until I actually tried to burn a rod did I realize how much knowledge and skill I would need to develop to mold two pieces of steel together.

At the beginning, when I would get done trying to glue something together his comment was, "Looks like bird shit"!

I never had a camera in those days so I am not sure how any pictures of my work would have gotten out, much less posted on OTT. ;)
