Like most true craftsmen, when I do a job, I finish the job so it looks professional. I don't care if it's fixing a wheel barrow handle or welding a 50 ton vessel. Anyone can see from your picture the unfinished and rusty welding cart that looks like it was made from some of the last pieces of scrap on the planet. No wonder you took jabs at me for complimenting a novice welder. His welds looked better than yours and you're the one with over 50 years experience! The difference between just a welder and a true craftsman is that the craftsman will always take the time to do a professional looking job. I never compromise quality just to get a job done. I take too much pride in my work, like any skilled tradesman would. If you're so sure of your skills as a welder, I'll over you a challenge. Start a new post with the same picture you posted and pole the people on this forum what they think of the quality and finish of your welding cart. Be sure to include the fact that you have been welding since 1954, have worked at many shops and even owned one and had formal training. After all, these are the facts aren't they? Also state that I think it's shoddy workmanship for a mega experienced welder. Let the people on here decide what kind of craftsman you are. If the majority thinks it looks professionally built. I will post that I don't have any clue what I'm talking about and won't offer any more advice on welding! What do you say? You could be rid of me? If I don't see a new post, I'll understand. You're too busy tarnishing your own brass! Maybe it would be better if I posted it to get the facts right? It's up to you. If you would have just politely disagreed with me without the comments, all this could have been avoided. I am done with this topic. I'm sure you'll read this though. Dave
OK - you set the parameters here but I'll just add that this is a photo that was taken right after the acquisition of the hi-frequency unit. The cart has been changed 3 or 4 times as various pieces are acquired. It is a PROTOTYPE and will never be painted as it will be replaced with a finished piece with all the necessary changes and additions have been worked out. If you were an actual, registered member of this forum we could take this squabble off the board with PMs. If you choose not to register then I, also, will consider this Donnybrook done and tied.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
