The welding has begun. The first 2 welds I did were crap and didn't even stick at all. They have been improving, and I went back and fixed one of the first 2. By improving, I mean that metal is welded to metal, and that's all that can be said of the welds. Really crappy so far. Note, this is not false humility. But, I should try harder to emulate the way they do it in the videos I have watched. It seems to turn out better that way. I just hope it will be strong enough for the "grind 'em till you find 'em" approach to shifting that I plan on doing.
