Trying not to get discouraged, but then discouraged is my natural state.
I am not a "glass is half full or is half empty" person. I am a "time to fill it up before it runs out" kind.
"every silver lining has a cloud"
"Murphy and Jones were on happy pills"
The light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train. It is the vehicle that ran over the train.
etc.
Just going to have to move my mental deadline on this back a year. Might have to try flux core wire, I have that for the welder. I know it isn't easy to do that with sheet metal, but enough people have said that they have been able to do it to make it worth a try. Too bad I just gave all my old sheet metal parts away, now I will need something to practice on.
Thanks,
Russ
