    I am getting little better though. I can at least put two pieces of aluminum together now... LOL Flat butt welds.... Still have to talk ugly and stomp and raise hell when I try to do a "T" joint, fillet weld, or aluminum tubing... Sometimes the talking ugly, stomping and hell raising helps.... sometimes it don't.

    I just need to practice some more I reckon.
