I got to do a little TIG welding in a welding class, WOW is it hard. I would end up melting way more metal than I would add. MIG welding on the other hand: EASY MODE!
Artillery, cool! What caliber(s)? One piece or two piece ammunition? If one piece, what did you guys do with the spent casings? I've got an inert ammo collection going, my goal is to touch the ceiling, which is 50 inches up from my dresser. Unfortunately when ammo gets that big and heavy, it turns into two piece ammo, so i'm having a really hard time finding shells that big. The biggest one i've got is the 40mm bofors at 21 inches tall.

Yesterday when I got home I was 1 needles width below half a tank and had 270.2 miles on the trip meter, eager to see what the base line is.

Yep, get to drive on GA highways all the time, absolutely agree with the above statements. I honestly feel that when the speed limit is 70, people drive slower/more calmly. When its 55 they go crazy.
