A friend of mine was working in his dad's body shop for the summer and
learned to weld. Because he was family he had keys so for a couple of weeks
he would sneak in at night and practice. They had all kinds of welders (I
don't know welding) and he told me he got to where he could weld two razor
blades together with whatever was the best machine for that sort of thing.

Then he led the old guys into betting he couldn't do it and won some small
amount of cash, but none of them would talk to him for a week.
