Can you cut a MD can in half and weld it back together? That would take some skillz!

I almost welded two soda cans together, it was VERY hard, i kept burning through (tig) and it smelled like shart, but they did hold. Then i asked my teacher to try and he made it look so easy.

No, not 2 cans, 1 can, cut apart, weld it back together. Or in other words, weld aluminum that is only a few thousandths of an inch thick.

Me try? hell no. My shop teacher prolly could. I'll probably try again when we go back to school once i finish machining my vice.

My dad was qualified to solder to aerospace specs when he was younger. All of his joins where in very difficult places and they where inspected under a microscope for flaws or impurity's.

One time i woke up from a nap and my room was on fire. Then when i was trying to escape a Dragon flew into my garage and i had to fight him to death with a chain saw.
