    There’s something refreshing about listening to another man/craftsman simply stating that he enjoys working alone. It’s extremely satisfying to know that unless caught, no one can judge you by how many doughnuts you’ve eaten! Beautiful work man!

      Once I noticed his Miller and see him checking his diagonal measurements. Tradesman in action Just one more bit of advice if you're ever grinding a vertical surface grind grinding up never down. Give that dude another doughnut. Keep that metal fab tasty 😋

    This is giving me some ptsd. I did a railing just like this last summer, except instead of being smart and tacking the ends of the mesh to the frame, I drilled a 1/4" hole in the frame for every piece of wire to poke through. Assembled each frame around the mesh, then welded the miters. It was 2x2 mesh too, only 4x too much time would have been nice! Awesome work bro, I also occasionally wear my brown leather crocs in the shop!

    Сварной стол довольно-таки брутален, круто по-тому что многие DIY видео-блогеры скорее заботятся о картинке, а здесь просто отличный стиль. Работа вполне нормальная, ограждения выглядят стильно. Завидую тому как выглядит исполнение толстостенной профильной трубы с крупными радиусами в США, наша выглядит похуже, но это просто стандарты государства. В общем пролетарский привет из России мастеру, если не ошибаюсь, из Колорадо.
    The welded table is quite brutal, cool because many DIY video bloggers rather care about the picture, and here is just a great style. The work is quite normal, the fences look stylish. I envy how the performance of a thick-walled profile pipe with large radii looks in the United States, ours looks worse, but these are just state standards. In general, proletarian greetings from Russia to the master, if I'm not mistaken, from Colorado.
