We had a small welding shop in town along side an alley, small building with all kinds of scrap outside. When you went in you couldn't see anything except a light bulb hanging. Stand for awhile and start looking around, they had a belt driven lathe, had to be some kind of forge. There was the biggest anvil I've ever seen attached to a tree stump in the middle of the shop, I believe the floor must have been dirt, an enormous welder. They also had and old portable welding van. Nice guys, just stand there long enough and not interrupt with what you broke and one of them would come over and ask 'What cha got' and weld it for you. All gone now.
