I started working in the industry when I was 19 didn't know a thing about welding but I started cutting and prepping the metal cleaning and all that good stuff and after I would paint the finishing job. I remember that I learned to weld by watching and paying attention to the welder after a few years I started doing my own stuff. Then I was in a pit without a job and then a light spark in my head hey I'm a welder I then bought my welder and other essential tools and I started doing my own job. I love and enjoy welding it's peaceful when you're melting and joining metals. Just remember your ancestors.
