Had me scared there for a minute. I thought, by the title that it might be some of your own work, and you were proud of it. Having been a professional welder, I just couldn't find it within myself to offer any complements. So glad my first impression was incorrect, and that you indeed know the difference. You ought to see some of the welds on new farm machinery. Spend tens of thousands of dollars on a piece of equipment that looks like the turkeys roosted on it. Charlie

I know nothing of welding but I've spent plenty of time in and around boats and always thought Tracker/Grizzly boats looked like they were put together a committee of idiots. It was bad, I should have taken more pictures. The next model up was right beside it and its welds looked like what I would expect a boat of that price done by a professional to look like.

Dang, that looks like they turned me loose on the welder, and that's bad. Would that be before a couple of cold ones or after?

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....
