I bought a used rusty school bus. Six years later, at least I know how to weld now. Sort of. I also learned how to survive hitting my head on a large steel C-clamp nine times without suffering any brain damage.

    The most important part of the Dunning Kruger curve! And welding is a fantastic example. You go from "this hot melty thing is scary" to "dang, I can make metal stick to itself!" to "that weld looks kinda professional" to "holy crap there's a whole science and art to this I will never have the time to fully learn".

    Is your school bus now something usable? Would love to hear about a successful impulse buy!
