welding (I guess this isn't really design)
over thanksgiving i did a little welding to my glider. It had large area of the bottom of one of the arms rusted out. So we cut it out, found a similar piece of metal, cut it and formed it to fit, welded it in, and ground down the welds. good as new!

pretty sweet,
does your dad already have a welder, or did you have to rent one?
we already have TWO welders, a MIG and a ARC welder. This was a kind of practice for all the body work my dad plans on doing on his '73 jaguar xke
