I don't have enough first hand experience to really say, but they're "supposed" to be up there with Bell and Spearco.

bell 18x9x4.5 i think, 1/8th plate, 3/32 filler. bent everything in a vice, need to work on starts and stops or just not stopping (my torch is way too small and gets too hot to hold so i have to stop often) and holding my hands steady, something ive never been able to do really. this camera sucks and wont take a close up. im no pro by any means but when i put my mind to it i dont do a half bad job.
and you can see a shitty start/stop there, dunno if i dipped there or what it was a few months ago, no pics of recent stuff.

nah, the top one is a sheet of 20g steel that someone left on the frame jig and the other one is a scrap of aluminum I had on a stand by the polishing stuff. The actual welding table is a piece of 1 1/2" steel with a milled top.

Bail, that reservoir is really slick. Nice consistent welds on there! I love the look of clean aluminum with nice welds and even cleaning everywhere.
