Lol, it certainly makes it easier for the current to choose you instead of the work piece

Customer just dropped off this brand new trailer, thing has like 30 miles on it and I'm about to grind about half the paint off to customize it.
I'll post up some photos as I work on it.

Not welding, but it reminded me of my short stint with a tig welder. The chip is flat mounted, and I had a regular sized soldering gun/ stick whatever you want to call it. My hand is normal sized I guess.

Not bad considering I haven't soldered in years, let alone anything that small.

Was thinking about picking up a metal saw for all the tubing and angle I have to cut for that trailer. Turns out that my plasma works faster and easier so I'll just go with that lol
(Here's about 1/4 of the metal)
