If you let knowledge of that skill get spread around, you will be a very popular guy.
That was a weak spot on those handles. I've never broken one but have seen a pickup load that were.

3400 welding handles   :o 8)

If I ever have to split my 415 475 445 I was going to call on ya. To fix my redneck fixes and to do it right with your sweet welding. 

P.S. I lost your # with carrier and phone change. So would PM first to hook back up.  But hopefully I will never have to split.

So I finished welding up the 2nd broken handle and I am comparing it to the other one I did before and it looks different.    I did not have the other side of the handle sent to me so I fitted the 2 broken pieces together I thought pretty straight.   Man was I wrong.   I took one of my saws apart and tried to fit the handle on there and neither one was even close.   So that means I have to break apart the weld or try anyways and re-weld them again.   I am not happy about this and will never make this mistake again.  You might say steam is coming out my ears.

Well I got off my butt today and fixed those handles I screwed up.
They were really crooked.   I put them on a Poulan 4000 I have and marked them and cut them in half with a hack saw and then got them all straightened out and welded them while on the saw.
So both handles are now done and I can ship them back.
