Some...some rebar can be welded. There are about 15 different alloys
of the stuff. From utter crap suitable only for burial in concrete to
hide it..to some pretty decent weldable material

I cant tell which is which from looking at it. So I tend to braze
it..which Usually..usually works. Mostly. Kinda Sorta. Sometimes

I think you would be better off with using plain jane black pipe
however.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
