I tell ya guys, it's awesome living next door to a retired fabricator/welder guy.

My neighbor is also a first class fabricator, machinist, and is knowledgeable about just about every subject imaginable. He was a plant manager for 35 years, and there’s not a question I ask that he does not know the answer to. Oh, did I mention that he has a machine shop in his basement and attached garage, with a Bridgeport? He has made me dozens of items through the years, and is my main source of fabricated parts for all sorts of projects.

It is especially handy when a part breaks on Nellas wheelchair, instead of waiting for weeks for insurance, part ordering and taking her chair in to be repaired, he can whip out the part in about an hour and get her right back on the road!
