[TheForge] Welding advice needed pronto

[The Millers]

Hey Jeff!!
Use that 7024!!! Just kidding.

Like most of the guys here, get a new one.

However, true to my own stubborn background I am making a sink for a 
client from scratch.

One of those "art" projects with irregular shape including an integral 
decorative base.

All of which will be electro-polished when complete.
