That's because when it comes to metalworking I would not presume to give
advice. I ain't that good at it. I am working at it but as someone not
very adept at this point I'm not about to give advice. I'm still in the
asking for advice stage at this point. But like I said, I have learned
quite a few things here and that is why I came to begin with. All the
political stuff just makes it even better.

Oh come now. You have no reticence in giving political advice. But
seriously by now you must some metalworking experience that can help
some of the people that are venturing into areas that are new to
them.

I would leave that to some of the folks around here that are real
experts working with metal. I'm still like a hack. I can get things done
but they aren't pretty and they take a long time. Now if I can finally
get a decent band saw then I may have something worth contributing, and
with pictures to boot. Seriously though, the old CJ I bought last summer
has a lot of things I want to do to it that require metal work. So I
expect to be doing a number of things before long. You know, holes to
fill. Brackets to make. Bumpers to modify for lights. Stuff like that.
I'm planning on doing those things this summer. But unless I do
something that looks really good I'm not showing my work around here.
You know how critical some people around here are. I can imagine their
opinions on my work.

Hawke

You don't learn much from admiration, Hawke. There are those poor
insecure poseurs that might try to sting with contempt, but you can
ignore them. All of us were once beginners, and most of us are still
learning.


I have some metal work projects that I will be doing on my Jeep. When I
get them done I'll post some pics. But as has always been the case with
me, pretty isn't a word that is usually associated with anything having
to do with me.
