After thinking about this for a while there are lots of different welders.I inspected welds for a while and I remember some that I had to send back even now that were bad for somebody who had worked there longer than me!You and I and most people like to make welds that are as good as we can.However there are people welding stuff,professionally,that are poor welders.Also even a good welder can make a bad weld.While it would be nice to spend an hour teaching Lanse how to weld thats just not possible for me.Hopefully he will find some kid that knows how to weld some and show him.I wouldnt worry about him not doing a good job at it if he does it like I told him,and grinds out any bad spots and welds them over again.I bet you would be shocked at what they called a weld on the side of a battleship in WW2 if they were being shot at and trying to keep it from sinking.Look around and you might find a picture of something like that.I dont think it took me 30 minutes to learn how to weld with 7018 flat on a buzz box when I was right out of High School and 18 years old.Its the wanting to do it that is what makes it happen.If he wants to do it bad enough he will.He might try welding it and change his mind.I trust he will do good and weld it good enough to work.He might be a natural welder and do as good as anybody can.Or even if he does an ugly job and grinds out the bad and does it over until its good,he will be alright.I say he can do it,and I bet he does a good job even not having any experience because he wants to learn.I was like that when I was his age and my welds are still standing on some buildings and some bridges and some skyscrapers and I was 18-22 years old when I did those welds.Even Railroad cars first.You have this view that a person has to go to some school or be an apprentice and its just not true at all.There are people that do,and people that watch.Lanse is a doer type person.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
