I couldn't get in the groove today so I just started tacking random bits from my scrap bin together. I call it "I come in peace"
Cheers.

I've been mostly out of commission the last half year or so. Surgery and rehab and more surgery and more rehab. Then I was in a crash and broke the hell out of a leg. Finally getting on top of things and back into my shop. It's good to be back.

Old crusty, rusty, painted metal is a little tricky to get good clean welds on but it gives an inimitable aged look. What do y'all think?

Cheers.

I like to use that old stuff. The color that's left will probably be there 20 years from now.
