Another take on FTW. A few years ago I met Faye Butler at a friend's shop where he was giving a metalworking clinic. If you're not familiar with Faye, he taught Jesse James how to rivet metal together like they did in aircraft plants during WWII. Jesse was wanting to rivet pieces of copper together to form a gas tank and Faye being a very talented metalsmith, one of the best on the planet, Jesse sought him out to teach him how to do it. Anyway, he tells me that Jesse wanted to show his appreciation, to Faye, for teaching him how to set these rivets so he had his bud, Bill Wall, make a vest for him. Faye said Jesse gave it to him and it had FTW on it. He had no idea what it meant so he asked Jesse, who thought for a bit then told him it stood for Faye The Welder.
