    DropEm that’s some fine work. I stated in middle school, attended tech for welding and went a different career path but still maintain a fab shop at the house. I’ll have to dig up a couple recent project pictures.

    Back to the original question. Yes I can weld. Been a few years but I remember how to.

    I can, self taught......have a Mig and TIG machine. Not like some on here, but I can make shit stick together, look decent and be safe. Enough for what I need.

    Learned the basics when i was 11, I’m 34 now and still welding. I do a lot of code welding, inside reactors. Xray weld for chemical plants. I use mirrors occasionally. Mainly on tie-ins, in a trench.
    Here is some of my recent work, where I could have a phone.

    Like others I can make stuff stick together for a quick repair to get thru the day. Would like to learn more.

    DropEm. That is real talent!

    Thank you for all the compliments! No I have never worked in nuke, I was actually going to go test in jenkinsville with Carolina energy but then that place got shut down. I work hard at it. I’m Always studying the latest and greatest tips and tricks and what not. If I’m not welding for a while I still tack up pipe and practice. Practice with mirrors, practice using my left hand etc. I’m actually wanting to be a welding instructor. I need to build a shop so I can start doing some stuff on my own too.

    Define welding?

    I own the machines, does that count?

    I got a buddy that does it in nuclear power plants, I call him.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    If you can't weld, weld a lot.

    It ain't how good you weld, it's how good you grind.

    And thank you! You still with them as well?

    DropEm, those welds are incredible. You will NEVER be unemployed with skills like that.
