But I just can't do it. 521 johnny your right down the road from me. If I ever need any welding done I'm gonna have to call you. I've seen some high end off road & sand car builds but them right there are the best lookin welds I think I have ever seen. I have a machine shop in Lake Elsinore so if ya need anything let me know.

Madness Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Looks like 10 years of non stop continuous welding. Did you ever put the tig torch down? Quote Link to comment
521 Johnny Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 not really, even in high school thats all i did, i worked for a lot of high end fabrication shops, and well known old school fabricators such as nye frank and russ wernimont, even at 27 yrs old i dont think ill be stopping any time soon, its like my fix, and actually for almost the past year ive been managing a warehouse for a clothing company called skin industries, doing fab at night and on the side for people.
