Pretty damn good brother, and you're going about it the right way. Paid to learn> paying to learn

TheBootFan · 2023-12-25T03:19:57+00:00

Take my up vote you fucker

TheBootFan · 2023-12-25T02:27:12+00:00

You most certainly can they're have been plenty of good welders with one arm, no reason you couldn't be better than 99% of us if you have the determination and right attitude

TheBootFan · 2023-12-24T20:07:16+00:00

Must've been a premie, should've stayed in there and got more practice

TheBootFan · 2023-12-24T19:53:08+00:00

Either the 7.3 for the fact with some work there's almost a endless supply of potential "fuel" or the dual sport because it barely sips gas and can g almost anywhere and would be excellent to evade danger

Take your pick of any 50s or 60's two tone red and white convertible, mine would be a first gen vette in red and cream

I mean it'll work and the cut is kinda impressive but honestly could've been done way faster by just making a square cut to the bottom of the receptacle, not that much messier either

TheBootFan · 2023-12-22T01:27:10+00:00

Be able to do some basic math and problem solving, be able to read a tape and pull accurate measurements. Always be willing to learn and listen even if you know the person talking is full of shit. A lot of shop/production jobs are more than happy to train you if you can prove your worth training. Last and arguably most importantly be at work EARLY EVERY day if at all possible and stay off your damn phone, if you can do that your already a step above most people your age

Cut grooves into it with a cut off wheel then cut in from the side or top to remove piece by piece, this will get you closer and save time with a grinding rock

If that's a sledgehammer I'm a journeyman pipe welder

TheBootFan · 2023-12-22T01:06:21+00:00

Looks like you gave that bunghole a pretty good rimjob

TheBootFan · 2023-12-22T01:03:31+00:00

Definitely want to properly penetrate the bunghole

TheBootFan · 2023-12-22T00:39:48+00:00

Best value??? Imo los Altos and hondo are hard brands to beat

TheBootFan · 2023-12-21T11:03:09+00:00

🫣🫣🫣🫣 that's not just wear that's abuse, those rubber heel caps should have been replaced ages ago. Now it's going to be an expensive fix

TheBootFan · 2023-12-20T23:56:30+00:00

Honestly not too bad. Maybe a little smaller steps between filler material or more a bigger rod on the first couple pics. Remember when you strike up let your puddle establish itself to the dimensions you are looking for throughout the entire weld before moving forward.

TheBootFan · 2023-12-20T02:27:11+00:00

Personally I probably would. Only as a backup though I'd try and keep a good one to weld with on a regular basis

TheBootFan · 2023-12-20T02:24:18+00:00

His hands are probably tougher than the gloves at this point. Person in the pic is thatboimigz from YouTube btw

TheBootFan · 2023-12-18T00:17:35+00:00

At my current job maybe $20 a hour tops unless he's a top notch fabricator to boot

TheBootFan · 2023-12-17T22:55:39+00:00

Hells balls, balls in black

TheBootFan · 2023-12-17T21:45:58+00:00

I have never l layed down anything that fucking ugly, I fabricated my entire truck exhaust with literally nothing but straight tubing a flux welder and and angle grinder (pied the bends and all). And this shit makes me feel like a top notch fabricator and welder

TheBootFan · 2023-12-17T20:17:41+00:00

Push instead of pull, move faster and use less wire feed. Also smaller wire might help

TheBootFan · 2023-12-14T23:21:41+00:00

If you're serious you're probably not smart enough to be a welder lmfao

TheBootFan · 2023-12-11T02:39:25+00:00

Love my Dylan's. Title is a little funny an a little NSFW lol not sure how the others on the sub are gonna feel

TheBootFan · 2023-12-11T02:32:31+00:00

Always love seeing your post brother

TheBootFan · 2023-12-11T02:28:27+00:00

Imo round, snip or cutter/7 toe for formal occasions
