    I agree 110%
    If you have a natural talent for doing any trade, it comes easy, you think, eat, drink, and sleep it, and doing it for years fine tunes your skill, hones it, your totally relaxed doing it, you have it nailed down.
    Heavens Devil, and Steve Reynolds HAVE IT:cool:
    I appreciate anything fabricated/crafted with human hands.

    Only way I get beads like this is to write the check to a REAL welder. Most of mine tend to look like Godzilla blew his nose on it...

    Since this is a welding thread, I have a question.
    Are those welds (Heavens Devil) considered beads, or puddling?
    I remember in V0-Ed in '81 we had to make puddles or puddle on a piece of steel with the torch.
    I thought a bead was a long continuous weld that looked like a worm?

    I would consider them beads. You start a puddle and then start adding filler to make a bead.
    I'm gonna see if I can get some video on here

    Damn, that's talent!
    When your running a continuous bead, I imagine your eyes watch how the metal is melting/fusing together and adjust your technique as you weld, faster, slower, more, less?
    When I spray at work, Im watching how the paint is hitting the surface, where its hitting, how its laying down, and adjust on the fly.
    That's some cool stuff there!
