A Special Note

Aspiring TIG welder needs your donations. If you can spare some scrap 4130 in any size tube or flat or bar stock please bring it to the next chapter meeting. I need material to practice welding on so scratches and dents are OK. Could use some aluminum, too. Can’t make the meeting? E-mail me and we can arrange a pick-up. Thanks.
