Unbelievable! I have been (mostly) lurking here and in RCM - The tips you have given have helped me improve my (hobby) welding 1000%. Have you considered writing *the* definitive welding book? I for one, along with most of the members of both NG would surly make it worth your while. Anyway... Thanks so much for all the helpful posts and the inspiration from your site.
