I also invented/created a nice fabricating tool. I attached a lazy Susan to the bottom of a large piece of plywood. Even with the full frame on the plywood, the Susan spins like a champ. Now I have the engine frame on it with 2x4's as stands. It works great. I don't have to walk around, just...

Yeah, I've learned how to weld on this. I understand what you're talking about. The more I've been welding, the flatter the welds have gotten. I'm afraid and sure that the frame will crack or break in places. With my newly acquired skills, I'm confident I can repair it. :)
