[Noisebridge-discuss] let's get a TIG welder

[Jake]

Jim,

nobody is suggesting we get an oxy-acetylene cutting torch at noisebridge, 
although someone did bring one in a while ago and was filling balloons 
with the stuff and popping/exploding them with the torch.

Please see the videos i posted earlier showing TIG welding (which I and 
others are looking forward to doing at noisebridge) and MIG welding, which 
is done at ACE monster toys (a wood building with a woodshop) and which I 
am not suggesting we do at noisebridge.

do: it's fearsome, as are the holes in the concrete
floor.
