MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST
I find myself replaying the words of the man who taught me to weld, not that they were eloquently delivered, but that it was to the point and simple. Welding can be as complicated as you want to make it, but when it comes down to it you are taking 2 pieces of (usually) similar metals and making one piece.
I was first drawn to welding with an inspiration to make art with a function and a purpose. What I found was the art is often lost in the function of day to day things and because of this a great waste of materials is happening. Make the unuseable useable again, reuse & repurpose.
