Pushing the Limits: Seeking Advice for Modern Outdoor Projects

[rjspenba]

Hello,

I'm a 20 year software engineer but have always been a physics enthusiast. Another of my passions is welding and I continually find myself working on modern outdoor projects, such as, outdoor kitchens. As I frequently push the limits of materials I was hoping that I could find a home, such as this forum, where really smart and helpful folks might not mind help me with a dilemma now and then. Since I like pushing the limits of things I thought it best that I seek advice to avoid a catastrophe .

Sounds great to me. I have a couple of fantastic grandchildren so nothing dangerous. I'd just like to avoid having to go back and shore up an underestimated affect that a load might cause. Typically, I way over engineer something but I'm trying to be a little more minimalistic these days.
