Quite the opposite, I had ZERO welding experiance but am a amateur woodworker and work in a field with mechanical items for the last 30 plus years.
It was a great project do not let these intimidate you, as if I can do it. anyone can with the tools.
was going to roast today but its 19 degrees and I do not want to do it indoors.
I did clean it up and will post pics later today on the final look.

Thanks again for all you help and support.

Bill

Nice Stuff.. Stainless Steel is the easiest metal to weld.. It is so clean and pure it just melts together.. Aluminum maybe the hardest..
