[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Let me introduce myself... (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 1/7/2014 11:27:08 AM EDT
Hi all, thought I would finally introduce myself after years of lurking.  I love guns, motorcycles, and the desert!
I am a welding foreman for a large steel company, and even though I am young If you have any questions about welding I will do my best to answer you! I have learned lots from this great website, and I find that GD is quite amusing! 
Ohh... and all my guns were lost in a tragic boating accident

Speaking of ammo, I have an extra 2,000 rds of 5.56 for a reasonable price. I'm running out of room in my safe.  Quoted:

I am in a shop. But I do have my AWS field welding certs. 3G-4G for stick, dual shield, and Mig. I have let my TIG certs lapse though.
I first started TIG welding for a laser and cataract company welding medical grade stainless steel. I also welded lots of specialty aluminum parts for hotrods. I have also done side work building artistic wrought Iron gates and fences. But that has been awhile. So 2 1/2 years ago I started in Structural Steel. It was quite the change! Massive steel and welds! 
Plan Is to become a welding Inspector.

Just ask ObsoleteMan, that's pretty representative of my welding.

We will be happy to give welding tips.
Or teach you how to weld with a slightly better technique...
I first started welding with a Oxy-acetylene torch back in high school and my welds were just awful at first. I would have a dirty tip and the torch would loudly pop causing me to jump halfway through the weld. It was then my instructor introduced me to cleaning my torch.

Beautiful welds Xtac! When are you thinking about taking the CWI test? I've been thinking about it for a while too. Maybe we can study together when AWS has their seminar in Phoenix. Looks like its in July.
