Mark I find you comment very offensive I never let the fact that I am in a wheelchair stop me From anything And maybe my sentence structure or wording led you to believe that as you put it I'm "Waving the disability flag".

You couldn't be farther off the mark my friend and if you knew me you would know I am proud of the accomplishments I make while confined to the chair. When I bring up my disability I trying to say "look even though I'm in a wheelchair I'm one of you guys, a welder, fabricator and a tinkerer. It doesn't bother me to talk about having a disability because for the last 19 years this is who I am, A proud disabled man.

I guess I didn't word it right or you haven't read my posts I have made on my projects but I even say in the video I will be doing my projects in stages. What I was asking Is if I am healed up in time to Make Progress can I post A stage of my project and have it count. For example I have cut the metal to length and drilled the holes but no assembly has taken place. So if I titled a post "Tubing bender Draw bar Assembly" Showing Pictures of me Prepping the weld Joints clamping everything up and starting the tack welding and then final welding (possibly) would a sub assembly of a larger project count? I would Rather Spend my money Towards Something I already have Money invested In Than to just make a bunch of nic-nacs to " Stack the Deck"

Also the comparison to you Dad is not very fair, I am not complaining about being paralyzed nor being in a wheelchair, after 19 years I came to terms that this was my life and I am going to make the best of what I can still do. Now to the issue, I have a decubitus ulcer or in layman's terms a pressure sore, this is something unlike your Dad I can't just ignore and go about my business. I am going to post an illustration.. My sore was like the bottom left and is now down to looking like something between the two top images. Good improvement but I still have a ways to go.

These wounds can grow very fast if not attended to and be life threatening due to the high risk of infection, that is why I have a nurse visiting twice daily to clean and dress it and also why they want me up no longer than 15mins every 6 hours. This is not a bed sore it came from sitting, basically because I am so active that I end up sitting up too long And my hip bones put enough pressure on the tissue to stop blood flow under them. Not the Disabled flag waving bitter person you make me out to be. I have no recourse now but to stay in bed and let it heal. This is not the first sore I've had and most likely wont be the last. I will post a link to the Wiki but be warned, not for the squeamish, and mark please read down to the part about wheelchair users where spinal injury is involved. I was at a stage 3 sore and now either a stage 1-2. The Wiki has more info.

All I want to know Is can my Projects be broken down into sub Projects if it's new material I have never posted before? Okay I started a Tig Torch water cooler Project But all my video shows me doing is Showing the pump I am using and attaching 1 90 deg elbow an a 1/2" barb to it. Would Tigging up a tank for it count as a separate sub project? Heck I don't even think I'll be healed up in time but Like I said If I do get better I'd rather not "Stack the Deck" making things where that money would be better put to use on projects I'm already committed to. Am I making things clear now?

I'm man enough to assume your sorry for your out of line comment and let it go at that.

Cheers all
