This was inspired by @Larmo63 's post on Travis' build thread about letting the battle scars show. These scars do have a beauty and I've often thought it would be cool to do an extensive rustoration and leave the welds raw without grinding or dressing. I thought it might be fun for people to show their Dr. Frankenstein work. Here are a few favorites from my build that I almost hated to see disappear.

If I could make my welds look good I would be leaving more to see.
Japanese do this "perfection in imperfection" as Wabi Sabi. When a dish or something is broken they glue it back together with a gold colored glue. Attached image(s)
