Sitting here on the couch with my feet all wadded up with crappy silver duct tape. An improvised version of fluffy's foot taping advise for this plantar footyitus, or what ever. Reminds me of a pair of snow treker mountain slippers I made once with duct tape and wool socks. (On an elk hunting trip) So awesome.

Try rolling a tennis or golf ball with the sole of your feet, it has helped me in the past. Good luck.

Interesting. I'm assuming you would want to shave the leg hair first

Dave, your welds are thing of beauty. Good luck with the feet. Another tip is to stretch tem periodically by elevating the toes and relaxing as your heels drop below toe level. Or lean against a bench in push-up position and lower toward the bench, keeping your heels on the floor. When you get to the point of really-sore-but-not-swearing, hold that position for 20-30 seconds. Do that 5-6 times a day to stretch your tendons and calf muscles. Helped me several years ago.

That is the truth about his welds. Mine always looked like a mud dauber did them and required copious grinding!

I spend a good part of my working day inspecting welds and that one passes!

Thanks guys, it's tough on that beer can thin metal. I like to think they were 20 gauge but The steel is drawn a bit thin since they are formed pieces, seemed more like 24 gauge.

Got a friend that CAN weld a Coors Lite can. He does medical/surgical instrument repair and modification.
