We return to Project 600, where we see how long it takes to fix or make enough stuff to cover the $600 price tag for my Eastwood MIG welder and the gas to run it.
Today, we try to fix a couple of broken metal fence posts. The stabilizer pieces on the bottoms have broken off after pulling them out of the ground at the end of the year.
New posts can cost as much as $5 apiece, so if we can fix these, we’ll add a cool $10 to the total for Project 600. Let’s give it a try.

Love the old man comment. I find myself doing that a lot.
Look at me, you're an old man now
Is flux needed?
I understand the speeding in the neighborhood. My street has a 30 mph speed limit and these people drive 70 plus mph.
Great video, Andy! The rabbits cannot control themselves :D
I looked so cool watching this in a coffee shop. Just sayin’
