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.
Dang Vince !

I was not aware you had more than the average bucket of issues to deal with.

I guess there are no medically proven ways to circumnavigate the welding threat.

I'm sorry about your illness, but if the medical art gets you back on your feet,
that's also a chance to start something new, you have the ideas.
One of my friends died of a heart attack at the age of 62 last week,
and he still had big plans.
Everyone stay healthy and enjoy life.
Thank you Harald.

I have passed your message to Deon.
