| I always seem to find what I'm looking for. Usually when I'm not looking for it.

| Yup. I know that is. It doesn't cut very clean though. And I always screw up my nails trying to pick off the metal bubble things that splash off... That's from welding though, maybe possible with using a toarch. It's been a while since I've seen it :d

| I've never actually welded before. Only used a cutting torch. Soldering though, I've done that.

| I have soldered once or twice before. How strong would you say the joint is?

| It varies. Some are really strong and I can't break it, some just fall off. I'm not sure why...

| At the machine shop my dad used to work at, they used plasma cutters. You know anything about that?

| Seems like it'd be hard to insulate it since the plasma that's used is really hot.

| I really do need to learn how to weld. I know at least 3 people at work who weld all the stuff hanging around, maybe I could get one of them to teach me. One burnt his hand pretty bad by grabbing what he welded before it cooled.
