N. learns to braze metal today.   

He is tentative about the placement of the rod and torch.  I put a pair of work gloves on and worked hand-over-hand with him.  Funny to see a technique from therapy used for teaching welding.

He is patient despite my intrusion and now is going about it like he’s been brazing for at least a month.  Good.  It’s fine if he gets it a little too hot or not hot enough. 

That’s the learning piece.  It will make this surface, that so reflects our motor inadequacies, lively. 

Thank you, M. for the visual teaser cell-phone photo of the corner of gantry.
