Thanks, Joey, but I wouldn’t dream of seeking a refund, and I keep hoping that WelderSkills might keep going, perhaps in a different format even, when I’d be first in the queue to take out a new annual subscription.

JODY COLLIER Thanks, Jody, that certainly does help. And it makes far more logical sense than what I thought of.

Excellent. Why is it that stringers might be insisted on rather than a weave? Is it that, with too wide a weave, there could be a danger of slag entrapment?

Thanks, Jody.

Thanks, Joey. Nice surprise: a lot more than than just the 4 or 5 minutes I was expecting. As ever, it was well worth waiting for, and it doesn’t matter how much of it has appeared before: I, for one, never get tired tired of watching and re-watching, and the more these welding tips and tricks get hammered into my brain, the more they become second nature and ready to be instantly called on to know how to correct something that isn’t going as well as it should, as well as making sure it goes right first time.

Welcome to WelderSkills, Shaun. A great first video. No doubt that geometric method was worked out a couple of thousand years ago, but it’s still pretty impressive looking. Many thanks

No sleeping through the alarm this time, and well worth it. Very interesting Zoom meeting, hearing about how customer service is paramount. That is the way to win over new customers and to keep them for life, which, as the podcast shows, is exactly what’s happening. So much so, if I were in the market for a new welder, based solely on what I heard last night, I’d definitely be going for Primeweld regardless of the shipping to, and import duties and taxes in, the UK.

I hope Primeweld goes from stregth to strength: they clearly deserve it.

Joey Collier One more thing, Joey: as it is now, if I have a question , I will need to hunt through the Notifications until I find this one again to ask my question . Could there be a new icon along the bottom marked Questions, or something similar so that, anyone with a question can simply open the WelderSkills app, tap on the relevant icon, and then find themselves immediately in this Questions channel?

Joey Collier Thanks, Joey!

@Joey Collier

OK Joey I’m checking I’ve understood this right. We put any questions here in this Comments section as I’m now doing, with the @ and the name to start with, yes?

But any questions related to a specific video should still go in the Comments section of that video, yes?

And any questions for a forthcoming podcast also go here, too.? (Obviously, questions during a podcast go in the Chat/Q&A section of whichever meeting app we’re using eg Zoom, rather than here.)

Hey Jody,

It always amazes me that just 2 parts in one hundred of the doping agent, thorium, lanthanum, zirconium, cerium, …. can make all the difference in the world. And it also never ceases to amaze me that, when I look at all my ancient Lincoln books, the temptation is to think there can’t possibly be anything left to discover about TIG welding, and yet here we are, a quarter of the way through the 21st Century, and you constantly demonstrate that the more we learn, the more we realise there is to learn. Certainly, I put far more weight on your practical demonstrations and experiments than any number of books full of theoretical discussions and ideas.

Thank you, Jody; just one video like this one justifies a whole year’s subscription to WelderSkills.

Happy Christmas.

Martin
