It’s not that bad… I don’t grind much out, I just cut out everything with rust on it, and weld in a new piece. Planning exactly what i am going to cut, and how I’m going to make the new pieces is the most time consuming, but it’s kind of fun, because it allows me to be creative… I _may_ spring for some sort of box break so i can form sheet better… The hammer-wood-vice thing is getting old. LOL. ---
