Still not sure whether you should come to the 3rd Annual Props Summit in New York City tonight? Even though we will have a guest speaker? What if I told you that you’ll get a gift bag filled with goodies?

Mr. Jalopy has a quick welding primer over at Make: Projects. It’s short and sweet, but has some nice photos.
