I own about 80 tomato baskets. These are the conical wire supports that

baskets experience failure by having one of their welds break. I
segragate them and eventually they meet with my OA welding torch and get
a new lease on life. SWMBO says I should simply buy new baskets. Most of
them are at least 20 years old, back when you could buy them for $ 0.50
each. I refuse to pay $1.79 and up for new ones. Cheap? I would rather
spend the money on welding gas.

If you get $1.79 + materials worth of entertainment out of welding up a
basket, then you've hit break-even.
