My Grandad welded with a old Lincoln Arch welder on the farm. My dad went to welding school at one time also. At 51 not looking for a career change, but might be fun to learn.
Welding can be pretty fun. And definitely useful. So far TIG welding aluminum is being tricky for me. I need to dial in the settings. I'll get there though. If you know someone nar you that has the equipment and is willing to show you how it's definitely worth trying.

Let us know how it goes.

That's how I learned Fuzzy, from the millwrights at work. Especially if one lives rurally the skill comes in very handy fixing equipment.
I first bought a plug in stick welder. Then when I wanted a generator I sold that and bought a 8k gen/welder that was even more versatile and with a 100% duty cycle. Added a buzz box (hi-freq' gen') for even more versatility a bit later. Out of that I have a pretty decent gen' for power outages. When I was pondering the purchase I asked the millwrights and the feedback I got was, "It can tolerate a complete short 100% of the time, Yeah, it'll do what you want for electrical generation.".
My point is that if it's bought right it can be made more affordable by other jobs it might be called on to do. We've never regretted the purchase and I enjoy having another skill of the shade tree mechanic.

SOOOOO Fuzzy got bricked........
I was woken up last Friday during the day with the boss asking about a company that was allowed into the plant by the back gate. I stated at that time that I had not heard of that company. I had volunteered for a couple of night shifts while a night supervisor was out. Long story short I got to work that night and shortly there after the boss lady showed up and suspended me pending investigation. The investigation seems to have consisted of them taking to the guards at that gate. No one talked to me. Long story even shorter I am applying for other positions in the company as that client was asked that I be removed.
As I am very much on top of my game and have stopped several company's for entering that plant in the last weeks it is a bit of a kick in the gut to be dumped to the curb. i have not been on here alot but hope that things iron out soon.

Hey Guys, I know I haven't been around, but I think of you and this place daily!
I've been tooo busy with relocating.. You know, new house, car, new barber, new phone, Dr., lights for the pool, etc etc
One biggy... I checked out 3 different cities and found a brick & mortar that carries the German Old Spice!! I swear I think that's the closest to the original sauce I remember as a kid on my Pop. At least the olfactory response gives me chills, it's a time machine, I love it. Also found Clubman locally, that's a first.
BTW, Sir Jay, that Civil War Shaving Brush forgery with the Badger knot you made me is the best brush on the Planet for me. I hope it lasts for the rest of my life because I don't even want to shave onetime without it!!
My favorite razors since moving have been the ER Lather Catcher from Fuzzy, its sings louder and better than any razor I know; the Auto-Strop A1 from twhite for knocking down several days thick growth; and my regular day in and day out reach for is my Schick chrome I2 Hydrozilla @Karl G from across the street laid on me nos. Still in case with razor blank. He was saving it for a collectible but knew it was my Pop's favorite so he gave it to be. I immediately popped a blade in it and it gets 90% of my shaves since. It's that good!
I'll try to hang more often... My new phone is very simple... I mainly wanted something small for actually Making phone calls, ha ha, so this one can't resize photos or it doesn't support almost anything I used to use a phone for. So I got what I wanted... Becareful what you wish for lmao!
Great shaves for everyone!!

Whoa... That does suck! Sorry to hear about this.. But I'm a big believer in everything happens for the best. I'll pray for you.. Hopefully you'll now find something better for you. Something where you will be appreciated and compensated better for your hard work ethic and experience.
