Just had a great conversation about welding with the guy who's making my cage. He was nothing but encouraging. He loves welding. He likes the people he meets through his work, and also what he described as the 'snap, crackle, and pop' involved. He does MIG welding ('Metal Inert Gas') and recommended that I get into TIG welding, as that will enable me to weld stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals.

Oh yeah.
