Default I need your help

I have helped several fellow villagers over the years with welding projects. Well it seems the Daily Sun found out and they want to do an article on some of the projects. Now my problem.....I did not keep photos of any of the projects, so if I helped you with a welding project, please send me a PM, I will send you my email address, what I am looking for is a picture of the finished project.

Agree, great to see a fellow Villager helping out others. Merry Christmas Dave and looking forward to reading the article when it comes out in the Daily Sun.

You repaired the door hinges on my Yesteryear car; so they fasten properly. You used a special tool to fill in the hole in the metal frame. I don't know if you welded it; but happy to send you a photo.

So glad you are being recognized! Congratulations. I have to say, the reason I clicked on your post is because you, who always have helped others, were saying "I need your help"! I was ready to shower you with baked goods and lawn mowing and rides to the physiotherapist!

You helped me to wire the LED headlights in my golf cart. It's not a welding job, but if that would be helpful, I'd be glad to send you photos.

All, thank you for your replies, the article was specifically on welding, and I did not keep any of the photos I took on various projects, never occurred to me they might come in useful. I am going to recreate some photos of welding I did on my car, but the reported was really looking for the more unusual projects I did, the artwork, chairs, golf cart tow adapter, etc.

TOO funny, however I do have a few appropriate T shirts:

"Broken is NOT an option", from the Ifixit organization.
"Still plays with cars"
"Real men measure once and cut"
