I have seen bad looking welds that work, but I found cracks all through this muffler when I looked more closely. Thanks for watching!

When I saw the wire wheel then the blooded plaster appear between takes I laughed out loud. You made me feel so much better about a near-identical but slowly fading wire-wheel-wound on my own hand. 10 out of 10 for posting a video that reflects 'how it is' as I am no welder either, but sometimes you get lucky and if you never try, you never learn. An excellent addition to your uploads.

I'm not a welder either but sometimes a think I I'm lol. And sometimes I impress myself. If that was my motor I would have put it on to see how long it last. I snotted up my brother collecter pipe on his van years back gave him a 30 day garrantee it lasted the lafayette of the van.

@647762816 I didn't think of wearing gloves until after I scraped my hand with the wire wheel. You can see the injury it caused in the video on my left thumb. Thanks for watching!

It's nice to try to salvage things and save a buck - especially in these times. I'm glad you posted a failed attempt. Sometimes I think you guys who post these videos never fail. Glad to know you're human and I"m not the only one who isn't always successful.

Good video, I enjoyed it. Probably could have welded it on lowest setting tacking it all the way around. But easier for me to say than do. Good work!

So it didn't work out, big deal. To each life a little rain must fall, never the less it was an excellent video. At least you tried.
