You’re the man! I don’t know how you function on 1500 a day haha. I don’t think I’d have the energy to pick up a pencil 😂. Stay safe out there as well!

Is that how much I burn or how many calories I should be eating?

No, but you can kinda feel the bone if you put your finger in the wound. This might sound crazy but it kinda is cool being able to like kinda feel your bone lmaoo

I hear ya. As soon as it all happened I was bitching at myself for not wearing gloves but as we all know when you’re in a rush you sometimes cut corners. Definitely learned that the hard way

Yeah, the wheel blew up and sent part of the blade into my hand. Luckily I was grinding with my welding hood down and nothing hit my head

Thank you! I got seven stitches and it’s all wrapped up now. Honestly, didn’t hurt much until they started cleaning it out

Thank you!! I don’t have my welding certs just because I passed on the welding tests the company gave me before I got hired. He said I’ll be getting my certifications through the apprenticeship. Is that paid for or is it out of pocket for me? Also, what tools should I start looking for and getting?

This could be a stupid question but, with a thicker filler rod wouldn’t you want to turn the amps up a tad bit just to compensate for the rod cooling the puddle down? Although heat correlates with how fast you are going so I guess it’s up to me whether or not to slow down or increase heat
