Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms...
Ah, working in my workshop, a little Willie Nel-Nel playing, a good cup of coffee. I've been building some portable walls to display my wife's art at an upcoming art show she's in. The walls are made of 1/2 inch electrical conduit, welded together to make a frame, and some screen welded to that. Welding galvanized pipe is highly toxic, which adds a little spice to the project. I think its the burning zinc that's the problem. I've welded up one section of wall, I'll do the rest of the welding outside, so I don't die. I have all the pieces cut, using my drill press to get tight fitting joints. My feet have lots of little burn marks in them from welding with sandals on. Its a wonderful day to be alive.
