Dear Larry, Jerry, Gray and others,


                 I must say that I very impressed at the extent and 
degree of welding and brazing expertise!   Heck, all that I know is that 
the business end of the welder is hot and don't touch it.      Maybe 
I'll learn welding in retirement.


                              Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
