At the end its dimensions were 2X4X6", thats a lot of fucking welds. And it still took 3 other classes to get to the point where i could make a weld look professional.

I say you should go for it chowder, and if you dont succeed at least you gave it your best! We all have our calling, you just have to find yours, and remember nobody was born with the knowledge to do something perfectly.


With the one exception of Skink and Moderating.
it's a gift to anything good,,,practice only makes u better...

That is great news, but I am a little angry because I used to get meds. that I Rating: 5
