Maybe (the chip tuning was rather intense, but ultimately uneventful). People regularly send irreplacible one of a kind iron castings to this guy from all over, and he un-breaks them like he would any $2.98 K-Mart piece of iron. It's what he does. Like my old Dad used to say, a welder can't screw up badly enough that he can't fix it unless he just isn't a welder in the first place. Possible or not, it's what he does for a living every day. Are you aware that iron filler rod is available for gas welding? I wasn't, but he showed me a box of the stuff. The down side is, obviously, the smoking-o-the finish. Education, like gold and salmonella, is where you find it. All will humble you if you survive them. Ron N
