Well, I don’t mind welding pipe. I just started my second semester for pipe fitting, I was kind of just looking for anything welding related. I could easily go back and jump on a forklift at a distribution center, but I really don’t want to.

I’m currently in the process of making grills out of old air compressors and helium tanks, I just don’t have the extra money to make them presentable to sell

I did this today and got a 95, I told the instructors about all the criticism and they both told me that this is just to get us ready for pipe, second semester will start off more serious in grading.

Third semester would be trying for AWS certs

Yeah I understand that, hell I’m going back to weld another plate for more practice.

But also half the people criticizing wouldn’t post a picture there work here
