WELDING FOR DUMMIES

WE SPENT SOME TIME OVER THE WEEK-END IN JASON’S GARAGE, OR SHOULD I SAY SHOP AND FUR PROCESSING BUILDING? UNCLE HANS HAD A WELDING REPAIR TO HAVE JASON WORK ON AND AFTER, JASON OFFERED TO GIVE NEIL A WELDING LESSON.

NEIL HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON THE CHECKBOOK END OF WELDING AND JUMPED AT THE CHANCE FOR A FREE LESSON AND SOME EXPERIENCE. FIRST THINGS FIRST, THE HELMET…..

PARDON ME FOR THE SIDEBAR, BUT DO YOU SEE THAT COLORFUL PAINTING BEHIND NEIL’S HEAD? IT’S AN ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING BY HANNAH DONE FOR JASON, AND SINCE HE SPENDS SO MUCH TIME IN THE SHOP/GARAGE HE DEMAND THAT SHE DISPLAY THE WORK OF ART OUT IN THE GARAGE. HERE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT JASON’S FURRY FRIEND.



AND NOW BACK TO THE WELDING LESSON. NEIL DECIDED TO WELD, “TO MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE KATHY, THE LOVE OF MY LIFE” ON A PIECE OF FLAT STEEL.






NOT BAD FOR A BEGINNER, AND ON TRY NUMBER TWO, NEIL SHORTEN HIS MESSAGE, BUT ENJOYED GREAT SUCCESS, AND TOTALLY SURPRISED AUNT KATHY, WHO IS NOW FIGURING WHERE TO PROMINENTLY DISPLAY HER NEW WORK OF ART.
