    I'll have to post some of my work. My big thing right now is fire rings and fire pits made from old truck wheels. I like to turn something that's junk into a functional, unique item that people like to use. The fire always draws people together and the cell phones and games get turned off so people can connect again. I love making them just for that reason. Deep thinker, I am. I don't sell many and I can't make them fast due to my health. I'll get some pics up before too long. They aren't like anything you are expecting to see. I cut them out using an oxyacetylene torch, not a plasma, for those who know about those.

    Speaking of which, I have a fire ring and a fire pit to finish by Sunday. That's when they get delivered, so off my lazy rear end and to the garage I go just to make enough noise to make my neighbors mad. Well, they can't get too mad, I live in the county not the city. Not many rules out here, but being the Neighborhood Watch Captain, I need to keep my neighbors happy. Oh yeah, there is a lot about me that you guys don't know Yet! I'm actually a pretty busy guy. I mow my neighbor's lawns free, blade snow free, shovel off their sidewalks free. I'm kind of the neighborhood fix it guy. Sharpen lawnmower blades free, and the list goes on and on. If you want a neighbor, you have to first be a neighbor.

    I just finished and delivered 1 fire pit and 1 fire ring. I think I have 2 happy customers. I've been building these for years and they help unite families when they build a fire and sit around them. Let's see if I can post pictures -

    My brother is a welder as well. He made a coffee table that was actually a metal coffin. It was awesome! Black, with spider webs, and glow in the dark orange paint. He also made a Korn wall decoration a huge metal sheet that looked like brickes with individual lettering of each members name and KORN right in the middle. it's awesome. I enjoy welding and I also enjoy your post! Nice work.

    Thank you twizzie! I work hard at it and I try to help others while I'm at it.
    A neighbor txted me today to see if I could fix her riding lawnmower. I fixed it in 15 minutes and did it free, it was something minor that took a .02 cent cotter pin. I sharpened the blade, checked the oil and the tires for her. She tried to pay me, but I can't take money from her for doing such minor things. I'm disabled and was glad she brought it over so I could get off the couch for awhile.
    If you want awesome neighbors, try to be one first. Same with friends, it works out very well most of the time. Although, one of my neighbors is using me and today I put a stop to it. Good grief, I gave him an old push mower and now he wants me to put gas in it all the time and wants welding done and gets mad when I can't do it Right now for him. He's just out of prison and a leech- I have helped him enough. He needs to get a job, but he's admitted to playing the system to get SSI disability and said he's been turned down 5 times so far. He's just a lazy bum- might be playing like I'm not at home for awhile. 5 calls and 15 txts in under 5 minutes is a bit too much, eh?
