    Shipyards do it all. Carbon steel, stainless, aluminum. All different welding as well. If you're interested I can hook you up with a QC guy at one of the yards who knows all the welding stuff.

    If you don’t mind, PM me his contact. Plus getting some shipyard experience now would make it easier to move to Virginia later.

    Hey @Biscuits and @357sig, and anyone else that might be interested. I have some XL motorcycle riding gear that I've shrunk out of. Know anyone that could use some? I mean actually use, not as a flea market re-sale? I have a couple pairs of riding pants, a (cheaper) leather jacket and a mesh jacket (with rain and insulated liners).

    If you're interested, let me know. Downside to this jacket is that it's really an XL with both liners in place. With both out, the jacket is probably closer to between an XL and XXL. But it can be warm, I rode in 25 degree weather with it, and survived.

    For sale, Tepui Kukema Sky 3 tent, with condensation mat (not standard). $900. Tent was bought in August 2017 and has been used several times since. Great condition, including the tent cover, though the cover could stand be to be cleaned. I can "show" the tent to serious buyers in Pearland upon request. Local pickup preferred, but can work with some folks not local.

    I did goof and apply some seam sealer to the outside seams of the tent. It didn't affect anything other than some aesthetics and at this point isn't that noticeable. Turned out the seam sealer wasn't needed as the seams are just fine factory.

    Some people like to see (more) pictures, send me a message if you're one of them, otherwise it looks like any other Tepui Kukeman Sky 3.
