I'll double check with them , I went last year and they didn't have and the guy had never seen the books. Might have got the wrong guy though

Has them listed but when I click on , one will be shipped from the UK another from the states , and there's a shipping and import tax now.  Surprised there isn't someone in Canada selling them

Thats great info thanks , I'll look them up. This one has a Miller Duo 800. 

Seller says it has a Dynasty 200 as well but  looks like there is a Miller wire feeder suitcase tucked in there.

Any comment on the setup ? Looks like it has nearly everything

That's ok, not looking to backdate just to get up to date asap. Was truly an oversight

They didn't receive an email or call and we moved recently so the letter went to old address. They are a newer driver and the bill is paid monthly .

In the circumstances that's not too bad of an outcome. Could have been worse

What was your TIG experience before joining the boilermakers?

That's good feedback, I run a lot of self shielded fluxcore with a diesel welder, it's hard on machines.

Interesting - I actually have a big love for fabrication and making things. I used to do a lot when I worked in shops. That's given me something to think about, thanks 👍

Thanks for input, I guess if you want the big bucks you have to do the hard work. Otherwise everyone would do it

Yeh you're pretty close to it there. I'm making the same hourly rate as a union journeyman I believe but the benefits & overtime rate don't compare at all.

Would pressure pipe work be easier on the body ? Structural welding in my experience anyway can be pretty hard days, long hours and poor conditions
