Gentlemen,
I have been imbibing knowledge from this group for several years now. In that time I've metamorphosized from "didn't have a clue" to "almost competent hobbyist welder".
At the dire risk of overlooking some important "givers" to this group I wish to express my genuine gratitude to Zimmer Man; Mike, Ted Edwards, Gwen on the other side of the Pond and Also Down Under; and of course, Ernie L., "the Seer of Seattle".
All of you are stunningly capable craftsmen. But your real gift to the rest of us is your generous gift of sharing your knowledge and experience.
I raise my wine glass in a toast to all the "beacons of light" in this group. Whether I've overlooked naming you or not, you know who you are!
Best new year's wishes,
Vernon Tuck
