Did a lot of fabrication,for example,build aluminum bed on a ranger.Hay forks,3 point hitches,bumpers.Help fix a lot of farm equipment.Weld stainless steel pipe with a purge kit.Anything stainless 308,316 food grade.Mild steel to stainless 309 rods.Had my own welding truck,in case a farmer would break some stuff in the field.
