Keep forging ahead, Dave!  Progress is good.  And not everything can be a buggy.  No buggy\'s on yesterday\'s event...

I taught myself to weld when i was only a kid, as did some of our other members.

Only after years and years of practice did i finally get some quality results. And within the last year did i finally get some lessons from a Certified Welder.

(and SHE is my \"girlfriend\") :-D

Im still not half as good as her and  some of the other members, but I continue to learn every time I pick up the gun.

Keep at it!  :weld:

yeah my dad is a trainer for Huan welding, and does classes all over, just never really had much use for welding when i raced moto cross, always had some one else to do it, but now ill be doing alot more, next build is a baja style tire rack that will lock in to where my 3rd row seat use to be, before it became a shop couch, then a set of sliders, just to be different and try to keep my expy from folding in half if i catch a rock

i thought about it, but this was laying around and looked like a good start, if i screwed up to bad it wouldnt have hurt so much, but i am working on other things to now,
