    Friend of mine used to post up some welds on FB that looked like DropEm's and actually looked like the exact same line of work. They looked like zippers, wish I had one of his later pics. Very talented but couldn't stay off the bad stuff and died about a year ago in his early 30's.

    Never welded in my life. Just wired up my shop for a welding outlet. Plan to pick up an old ******* tombstone and teach myself. Had a guy tell me its alot easier to learn other types if you learn stick first. Said you kinda ruin yourself if you start with a mig.

    Tig and stick. Welded on steam turbines for around 3 years before I moved departments. Had to learn 6g (never welded pipe) in stainless and inconel. After that never touched a pipe again.

    stick and mig with a touch of tig learned. Dad started teaching me when I was young. We built numerous deer stands etc. like riding a bike. Once you get the hang of it you don’t forget.

    Been in reactor rooms , clean rooms in Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock and I can weld. But I've seen no better looking welds than those Drop-em posted.

    Thanks. The inside and outside cap on that nozzle wasn’t my best work but after 6 hours under the hood I was ready To get it done.

    My latest project was building a trailer hitch receiver to clamp on the ROPS bar of the tractor so I can let the dogs ride in a hitch hauler when I go to a remote parcel. It turned out really nice and my mig skills got slightly better but my grinding skills are what really progressed.

    The biggest lesson learned is that I need better ventilation in my shop. Welding fumes and grinding dust have made me feel like I'm fighting a cold.

    It was a very gratifying project. I've wanted to learn to weld ever since my shipyard machinist days.

    I've asked before and never got a solid answer, can any of you real welders recommend a good, not-too-expensive, hobby sized tig welder?
