Nice Introduction, when I was first learning how to weld in school I always thought it would be cool to weld on a pipe line somewhere in Alaska. Today I still think it's pretty cool but just a pipe dream. Lol. I've also taken some machine shop classes that were specific to conventional machining like lathes and mills. I think your right about the youth not venturing into the trades, and I hope your time on this program hits a lot youths. Keep up the good work guys.

My buddy wrapped his 76 chevy around something on the road and ask if I could cut off the front end. I said cutting off the front end was no problem, aligning it back was a whole another story. Anyways after I had him pull as much parts out of the way, I was able to square off some lines, then useing an oxy-acetylene torch to chop off the front end. Preped all mating edges and tacked in a used front end from another truck. Frist try we found the door panels rubbed, so we Broke tacs off and trimmed mating end back 3/8 at a tapper a got better fit, er I think, its the first time lining up a car frame so I'm pretty happy with it.

Cool pictures, super useful, my wps is asking for 1/2 vee groove with a open root GMAW AND DUAL SHIELD fill and cap, both 3g and 5g . I believe the wps has not been qualified yet, I'm planning on tackling in with .035 since I have about 30 lbs of it.

Good luck with your CWI , I PLAN ON TACKLING THAT LATER. LOL

Hello everybody, I work as a boilermaker servicing Various sites daily. My duties vary form Welding (multiple processes) to brazing, to masonry ( Refractory), to threading to fitting to plain old simple mechanical . I also spend a lot of time sharing Welding education with peers and my kids, as well teach a boilermaker apprenticeship program with NCCER.
WTT has always been a go to pointers, but now welderskills is triple up grade if not more with all the different collaborations.
Thanks
