Local Welder Suffering From Welder's Block*
EASTON, PA�Area welder Bruce Meacham confirmed Monday that he is 
suffering from a severe case of welder's block. "I know what I want to 
do," Meacham said. "I need to get this supporting strut attached to the 
main body of this girder. But I keep running into a wall every time I 
sit down and try to actually weld." Meacham said he spent the better 
part of last Saturday putting on his goggles, starting up his acetylene 
torch, and then merely staring at the two pieces of metal for hours. 
"You've got to understand, welding is a creative act," Meacham said. 
"It's not the kind of thing where you can just punch the clock and do it 
from 9 to 5."
