Hey all. I just read back and realized theres some serious talent in this thread

As for myself I guess some of what I do could be called construction. This past week I installed an aluminum deck that I fabbd' at the shop I work in. It was about 45'x35' oblong 16'o.c out of 2x6x1/4.. There was so much welding to be done on it that I ended up with a welders tan after about day 2, but I used a MIG spool gun so it went pretty quickly. Most of the time when i fabricate I use the TIG dynasty because its so much cleaner of a weld, and who wants to see a weld break? maybe its just me

. What my real passion is though is blacksmithing. I do a fair bit o' it where I work, ya know stuff like sculptures, furniture, gates, rails, decks of course and the range goes from bronze, copper, stainless, alum and steel.. some machining work depending on what kinda crazy assd' project get put onto and you bet your bottom dollar I do it all "on the weeds"
