I really like your brother's art project. That is my favorite kind of art, welded sculptures.

My plan was to restore my truck and take care of my other vechicles when I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

Then this past Feb. I started passing out for no reason. After many doctors and a couple of hospital stays they implanted a pacemaker on June 9.

Since then everything is better but the heart surgen said no welding and being around altenaters on running engines. So now I have a new wire welder that may not get used and a new plasma cutter that may not get used.

Anyway all of that is to say I'm still going to do shop stuff that I can, but probably not any welded sculpters like I planned, and all these old parts to sculpt. with.

I'm getting other opinions what I can and can't do with a pacemaker.

Also I've gone old school and will learn the weld and cut with oxyaceylene.

There is hope for some art anyway.
