Wow guys, this is all voodoo to me.
I know I’ll have to face it and go through the learning curve soon (because the rust is insatiable), but I’m really not looking forward to it.
First things first though, I need to buy the welding stuff and learn how to do the patch panel thing. My boy took a series of in-depth welding classes and from the look of his various coupons - got it down fairly well.
Thanks again for the detail in your techniques and hard learned tricks.
Mac.
