Dear Jim

This is just fabulous.  Many thanks for your efforts and generosity. Stove
teams...take notice!

Really nice.

Agreed.

It is scary what they can make things for.

Around here I would use a laser and 3CR12 (309) in a slightly lighter gauge
and get a much longer lasting unit for the same cost.  BTW it spot welds and
seam welds very nicely so the MIG/TIG/Arc welding issues fall away.
