Learn to TIG weld, and when you can smoothly and cleanly join very thin-walled steel tubes with a tiny weld, or, as a challenge, perhaps two beer cans or some stainless steel foil, then I just _know_ you will gain a new perspective, and see beauty and soul where you now see none. "Soul," for my money, is poured into a creation by the builder, and is not dependent upon any specific technique.
