Re: welding

[Richard Bies <bies@domain.elided>]

Using a MIG welder is cheating.

It <is> possible to butt-weld sheet metal oxy-acetylene -- using the spot
at a time method outlined -- with a small torch (usually called "aircraft
torch") -- AIRCO Model 0400 or the like -- handle less tip just under 6".
Possibly out of production by now -- if you are lucky at garage/estate
sales, you can also find the neat miniature cutting attachment which
screws into this handle.

Brazing works really well in combatting rust.  With a nickle-silver rod,
stainless (cat/exhaust) is bonded.
