[Vanhackspace] MIG welder

[dan anderson]

Sounds like there's enough interest - and John, my oxy-acety skills boil
down to "is it melted? no? keep going keep going keep going oh crud I blew
through" so I for one would love it if you would be up for sharing. Is this
enough to make it a Tuesday thing? If so, would the 23rd work for everyone
who's expressed interest so far? (vancal.org has nothing since last month.)

Added the welder to the 'loan' list.
