With my motorbike interest I have a nearly unstoppable urge to smooth every weld on the frame, every casting seam on the aluminum parts, brainstorm ways to lighten and strengthen each part and fastener. Some day I will have a machine with every nook and cranny gone through by me in such a fashion, and knowing my fortunes it will probably be stolen and mistaken for one of its more generic cousins
I do something similar, but to guns instead of bikes.
Do you TIG weld, and have you ever heard of Scandium? If no, then forget I said anything, for your wallet's sake...

I'm fortunate to even have a fluxcore wire feed. I do the majority of my welds with a cheap buzzbox and the thinnest rods I can find. Scandium? sounds similar to "Scamming 'em"
Then there's my cockatiels, my music and recording gear, my maps, a game called Tripeaks solitaire, an Atari 2600 emulator, my books, my retifist stuff, and lately I'm obsessively shopping for more Crocs and collecting clear plastic shoe boxes to sort my other junk
