Hello everybody!  👋

I just wanna make an introduction before I post anything else in this community. 

My name is Dennis and I live in Sweden 🇸🇪! I’ve been working as an welder for about 16-17 years now and primarily as a mig welder. 😬 I’ve been in a shop environment all my career and did spend about 14 years making hydraulic cylinders in a production, that learned me a lot even though production welding is boring I got really effective and did plan out my days really good. At the end I did all the planning for the welders and robots, I programmed the robots and I supervised everything that was welding relevant and helped making new products. (This just sounds fancy, it was a small company 😅)

I got bored really quick at the end and came in contact with another company so this is where I am today and also have been for the latest 3 years or something! I am welding biochar-boilers for a company in Germany now and I love this 😊 switching to this job really opened my eyes to just how little I know about welding and this is why I’m here at this site fellas 😅

These boilers are probably not that big for you guys but for me these are huge! 

Thanks for reading and for I will try to clean up this introduction so it’s a little easier to read, hopefully you can have some patience with me because English isn’t my native language 🙈

See ya 🇸🇪☺️

Hi folks, meant to fill this out after first joining the site, but spaced it out. I've always been primarily a " I'll weld when I need to weld something" kind of guy for most of my 60 years. Started stick welding in high school and on the farm. Got into MIG and then TIG later in life. After a hitch in the USAF, I worked in telecommunications all over Alaska for 30+ years. Primarily into doing machinist work on the side, but welding a lot more after selling the mill and lathe ( preparing for our move to the "lower 48" ). With the machine work gone, welding is the new focus, and would like to up my skills. Main interest is motorcycle related welding, saving machined parts from the scrap barrel, general repair work, and just plain "making stuff". Has been a great way to spend time after retiring, and enjoying welding more and more. Also volunteer doing machine and fabrication on a steam locomotive restoration , which has been very rewarding. Sure do appreciate the knowledge shared on here. Thanks!
