Dan Why build an airplane, why not just rent one? I wanted to learn to weld since I was a kid. My high school did not teach welding so I tried to enroll at the Tech school but back then you could not go to the tech school if you were still in high school. You have meet Giff and he has done a lot of welding for me and is willing to do more, but its just one of those things I want to do myself, like building an airplane.
