Had my first welding experience and built a stand for an old grill body to use as a fire pit. My first welds aren't pretty,.. but they are solid and will hold.
Rather impressed that I only burned a hole in one spot,.. and was able to (with guidance) fill it back in.
That's cool. I've done welding and brazing but I totally suck at both. What material did you weld and what kind of welding did you do?
Not sure the steel content,.. but some retired heavy duty shelving units - and gasless MIG. He also as a stick welder, but this was faster and simpler. It was commented of all the students my Father in law has had, those were some of the best first welds he has seen. He taught AG Mechanics for years, so he knows a bit about all welding..

@gjacobse Very nice. I've done a few kinds of welds including MIG, TIG and OA open flame in educational settings and lots of spot industrially.

It was something I serious regret not having done while my Grand Father was alive. He was a machinist, owned a Well and Septic business, and built / rebuilt much of his own equipment. From Backhoe to Bulldozer. So much life and technical experience he had for having 'not finishing the 6th grade'.
If I can recall one of the stories he told his, he was part of the machine shop in WWII that worked on the manufacture of little pineapples. There was a machining issue which no one else seemed to be able to figure out,,... after a few days, he had it solved...
sigh
I do get the chance to learn from my Father in Law.

Reading the fact checking from tonight's debate.

It's like watching children argue.

I tend to laugh at the fact that afterward the various news organizations provide analysis of the debate. In my opinion, if someone watched it, they'll get a good idea of what happened.

We had this debate on here a few weeks ago I thought - Hershey's is perfect for s'mores.. better chocolate is mostly a waste.

Yes it was boring, but it still shows the slate of the producers.

The republican's want Trump to leave the race so they can throw some random person up there to fight against Hillary.
With about a month before the vote. That's insane, on sheer principal of the notion.

I must've missed that thread. Keep in mind that where I'm living at the moment, food is cheap, really, really cheap.
