Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Remember I said I was learning to weld to build the kitchen?
Of course that was just bits and pieces. Having nothing to do with really using structure. I was thinking of an occasional bit of nut and bolt together.

But now it actually makes sense with this sink.

I did my first welds today. I grabbed a bunch of junk metal and I cut it into pieces and I cleaned it up and I welded it together. I did it at a variety of angles with a variety of thicknesses. I did a couple of bolts sticking out of a piece of metal.

It was wonderful.

I can create a very strong steel box to hold this sink up in the corner where I want it. Far stronger and tighter than with wood. Then I can put a wood face on it.

Someday someone's going to try to rip this sink out and they're going to kill themselves. Or they're going to give up.
New That was my father-in-law with superglue and other assorted attachments
Whenever he put something together he didn't want it to ever come apart. Most of it outlasted him, but now I'm the one who gets to do maintenance.

I've found superglue, solder, duct tape, screws, caulk, and anything else you can imagine to hold things together. Plumbing, wires, doorframes, shelves, light fixtures. And while gluing and screwing and soldering, he would cut off the original mounting hardware that would align it properly.

Everything I work on starts with several rounds of, "Is this seized, or am I turning it the wrong way?"

Before such superhuman attainments of sustained triviality one stands in something like awe.
