New Guy in Washington State

[Christopher]

Hi guys,
I'm a total newbie from Ellensburg WA.
I love the idea of making patch pannels and/or complete panels from scratch so I'm really happy to have found this forum (I think I found it through the Hamb). Anyway, after I registered here yesterday and did some reading, I was inspired enough to go out and beat the bajesus out of some perfectly good sheet metal. I beat out two small half circles about the size of an apple and decided I'd put them together to make a Christmas ornament (It was either that or an ashtray/change and car key holder).
All went well until I attempted to join the two halves and burned a nice hole with my wire feed. I wont say how long all this took me.

I cant wait to try again!

Chris
