I just flat admire those can weld skillfully. I try and can "get it done" but it requires artist of exceptional abilities to join and shape metal.

I can weld, but mine sometimes looks like a dirt dauber done it >>>>>>>>

i always like building things and drawing.one day i'll post some pictures of my artwork. i used to airbrush but haven't done that in years i mainly do my art is pastel chalk. but as for welding i like the idea of making something that will be here for years and years. there is a boat we built back in the late 80's it was called "oddessy 2" if you go to youtube and type it in you will see a few videos of it.it's still cruising up and down the river in chicago we built the oddessy too. they was almost sitter ships. i think i spelled it right .just type in oddessy cruises and you'll find it. really nice boats.

went back and found them for ya.there are a few more we built too one was the spirit and a few other but i remember the two odysey ships the most.

back in the late 80's when we built them the yard super said the price tag and final bill added up to just over 500k now just think in todays prices what the price would be ??? i'm sure it would top 2 million for sure. it was fun building them and even funner when we took the maiden cruise on them. very nice ships from top to bottom.

Did they let you ski behind it, since ya'll are the ones that built it >>>>
 
no they didn't let us ski behind it but they did have lots of food and beer on board. we took a nice ride maybe about hour and half long down the bayou and into the amelia river . it was cold that day and the wind was blowing pretty good . i made a video of it with the old vhs camera and maybe one day i'll get around to putting it on dvd.you should have seen the cars pulling over to seeit i bet all them people thought it was a huge mega yacht.i felt rich for the first and only time in my life.lmao.there was about 4 or 5 bars on the ship including a private captains bar right behind the bridge of the ship we took turns having a party at each one. when we built it it was supose to be a gambling and dinner cruise ship but in the youtube videos i didn;t see any slot machines so they must have taken them out or never installed them.they told us they was gonna install them when they got to chicago. we had the top spoiler wing thing come in by barge .it's all aluminum aright at the last foot or so to the bottom the mixed metal into the aluminum until by the time it was to the bottom it was solid metal so we could weld it to the top deck.i think they call it graduate steel or something like that.
