Welcome back Schutzie. Long time no post. I’ve always enjoyed your take on things.
Need a welder?
Don't know where else to put this.
I've seen where people are desperate to find someone who can weld, and I have your problem solved. Needed a simple weld, and found Tim. Tim has welds orbiting the earth(really, ask him!) And in lasers and other high stress places. The job he did for me was the best I've seen, really.
He's never done a raft frame but the idea has him intrigued. Boxes would be easy for him.
Anyway, if you need a welder,

It sounds like a guy who can “weld beer cans”… I’m getting warm and tingly.
I always weld after cans of beers. Helps steady the hand. Oh, you mean weld them together? Yeah that ain't happening.
It's not hard. I remember it being a project in Vo Tech HS.. Having a pulser function on your machine helps, 1/16 tungsten and take your time. Just takes practice..I always weld after cans of beers. Helps steady the hand. Oh, you mean weld them together? Yeah that ain't happening.
I beg to differ. Having welded alu(more like attempted) with tig, mig and gas I can say that even with a suitable thickness of tube wall, even a micro-second of inattention yields a quarter sized hole and a lung full of elemental aluminum and CO. The folks who can bond tubes with dimes are more Picasso than technician and have my undying respect.It's not hard. I remember it being a project in Vo Tech HS..

No, really.. I spent 10 years stacking dimes as you put it, all welding comes down to one thing. Control of the puddle. Master that and you can weld anything. The new tech that is on the scene these days makes it so pretty much anyone can do it if they set their mind to it, have a little instruction and practice. Not like the olden days.I beg to differ.

Doesn't get any better
