Are you kidding me? The only reason that it hasn't been done yet is
that I'm scared of it.

Truth is that there'll be about 12 linear inches of weld on top and
bottom when all is said and done, but I'm wanting to make sure those are
the nicest 12" that I've ever welded!!

Lay that bead down as though your kids' lives depended on it. I'd be
a tetch skeered, too.
