Fabbing and tools

arcitech · 09-21-2010, 06:52 PM

Just wanted to say that I'm glad I started doing my own welding and grinding. It is a lot of work, and some skills take a while to regain/learn, but if you have any plans to mod a golf cart, a welder, grinder and some type of power/plasma cutter will be really handy. I could have farmed out a lot of work on my Westinghouse, but this is really a labor of love and I am stoked that I can make just about anything (since no-one makes anything anyway!) for my cart!! Buy some tools and take the time to learn how to use them, then get out there and get your cart pumped up!!!! The plus is that I do odd jobs for friends and neighbors and they bring me lots of beer!!! Win-Win!!!

You think you got extra beer now, Get a lathe and some sheet metal type tooling and look out. You will have to invest in a much larger fridge for the garage. If you can do any electrical wiring ...well that only adds to it. In short, the more tools you have and know how to use them to their fullest the more "friends" you will find you have.
