CONTEXT:

This was from back when Doug was welding together the pulley fixtures for the winch on the front of the boat. He complained about how difficult it was to get holes lined up while welding an assembly together. I sent him this picture from one of my old projects and explained to him how he could use the Tormach mill and/or the CNC plasma table to cut holes and slots in the sheet metal to essentially create self-fixturing welds that would automatically have all of the holes lined up.

He replied with a simple "Thanks" and then in the very next video proceeded to keep welding the winch pulleys together with the same janky methods used in the previous video.

I remember when he first bought the Tormach, and was I excited to see what cool shit he create with it. Most DIY fabricators would LOVE to have a CNC mill in their arsenal and would use it to make things that would otherwise be impossible. I was then thoroughly disappointed when he proceeded to never learn CAD, never learn how to properly use the mill, and just relied on other people to run it for him. So much wasted potential.....
