When i started Jr. High school, I took a class in metal working/welding. First we learned about different types of metals and steel. Then, our first project was to weld two pices of steel together, then the teacher would grade us on the quality of the weld, and the strength of it by placing it in a vice and hammer it over trying to break the weld. The teacher refused to grade my weld because he didn't believe I had welded it. I was young and didn't know what to do so I gave up and failed the class. I would have enjoyed working with metal/steel. Good teachers are so important. I chose a career in glass and am happy with my decision. However, I often wonder what I could have done if I had a good teacher in metal work/welding.
Sorry that the first 2 -1/2 minutes are so shaky. Also I am aware now that the captions are severely incorrect and I plan to make an updated video to correct this and will repost. I was hasty to release this for Nols friends to listen to.

Your story about Nol touched me, I'm glad you released it. I also remember seeing him at Dan Boone Pasture Party. Thanks for sharing.
Very well done!
