I was having trouble with my vertical welds and asked Gene for advice which he kindly offered, not perfect (never is) but they are getting better, thanks Gene.

Once I had the two pieces located I did not want to move them until securely attached which meant working at floor level. I have to say that it took a major toll on a 74 year old body that also can't see all that well, but a least I'm still doing it.

Unfinished start of repair.
