My welder cousin says that’s often the truth! He is an incredible welder, but, with talent comes expense, I KNOW he could put together the 304 frame for my ultimate genesis from “found parts” project but, I’m not sure he has time or even shop space anymore, he retired just before Covid and we’ve not gotten together since! It might be time to remedy that. My nephew is developing his skills but, I don’t know when he might have any time.
I have not done any welding in almost 50 years, high school was the last time. Nephew has done some nice work but, after his various surgeries getting things back to “normal is going to take him a while. We. Have discussed laser engraving of the tank scale and a control panel just for fun! He’s not very interested in the project but, he says he wants to do more welding. Once I amass the tube stock, figure out the cutting schedule, increasing height maybe four inches, it shouldn’t be that big a project when one has the right shop space and equipment.
Oh that's easy. Just have the roofing contractors come over who were at my son in law's house. They managed to flatten the old Genesis 2 (converted to 3000 by me) using nothing but a front end loader
