Wow .. that's some nice welding! I wish I could do something that didn't look like a bunch of bunched up boogers, or cat **** as a friends dad called it.

People usually call shitty welds "Bubble Gum" around here. Catshit and bunched up boogers sound better though. I think I'll start using those.

My dad used to call his welds gorilla welds -- uglier than ****, but stronger than hell.

Looks Nice. However. I think that those are TIG welds on a lathe. Looks good but I could teach anyone that in about an hour. THe machien does all the work.

I believe all those welds are freehand as he states for most of the pictures.
