Thanks for the kind words Challenger1 !
Forgive my lack of understanding, but you wrote against grinding a weld. I wish that my skills were good enough to weld and then paint the stuff that I do. I'm trying to improve, but I still need to "tune up" what I weld. What is the reasoning behind the statement? A weaker joint? In most cases, I just knock down globs or high spots. Somebody wrote in a post somewhere else in this forum: "Pretty welds are not always strong, and strong welds are not always pretty." That gives me hope!
