Do they both come out of the same sweat shop. :lol:

In all seriousness, I admire the guy's TIG welding skills.

Skills would be doing it freehand :lol:
The bastard is using a lathe to turn it smoothly for him. :lol:

Just because one piece of pepperoni wasn't securely placed on the grand duke pizza, it shouldn't eventuate to catastrophic handling & extended delivery times. :lol:

Having recently learned to weld (mig) and at best am now extremely average on a good day. I can say i would be a liar if i didn't appreciate that guys skill at welding. btw as to the lathe, if you've got it, use it.

If it hurts, you aren't doing it right.

I hope hes using spf 5000000 and reapplying it generously during the day. Im surprised he wasnt using a stubbie as a welding lens.
I only drink to make my friends more interesting.
