I own about 80 tomato baskets. These are the conical wire supports that
hold up the plants as they hopefully grow. Every year about a dozen
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.

Why, yes, you are a cheapskate!

But you are in good company. I'd weld my tomato cages if I weren't so
lazy
