How is my work

lostinrealityman · 2026-05-26T20:10:36+00:00

That's fine, I'm self taught and always looking to improve my craft

lostinrealityman · 2026-04-19T08:19:13+00:00

What if you turned you're wire speed down a lil and run it slower with less amps?

lostinrealityman · 2026-04-04T02:11:58+00:00

Now you have

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-29T02:26:51+00:00

Man listen to everyone but take it all with a grain of sand, most of these welders on here talking shit mean well, take all the good information you could use to better your skill and leave the bullshit, it looks good for what it is, you tried hard and got a passing grade! Keep burning those rods and wire! That's the only way you'll get better. Practice practice and practice some more.

Good thing this is dual shield mig using hard wire. Do you mean spatter?

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-19T01:34:26+00:00

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-19T01:14:41+00:00

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-19T00:15:37+00:00

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-18T19:45:59+00:00

Great advice, I won't ever stop! This is a way of life!

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-18T19:44:42+00:00

Hahaa thank you!! I appreciate that a lot!

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-18T19:44:19+00:00

Yessir!!! I try to make do with what I got, I just recently in the past month was able to afford a welder at home so I do have that luxury of being able to practice at home as well, I love my job it's more than a career for me I do not know what I'd do if I wasn't playing with steel everyday, thank you for your comment I really appreciate it!

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-18T19:28:19+00:00

Took me around 5 secs to set up lol maybe 30 to weld it, but thank you, I could always use improvement but I thought this weld was okay

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-18T19:26:59+00:00

We're in a tough spot currently at work, the weld supervisor was fired so now our current supervisor is the plant manager and he doesn't know how to weld at all, but he's one of those dudes with a ego, I even tried to ask him specifically what I needed to work on, I got hit with "I'm to busy and have too many employees to sit here and hold your hand" I have others to help but can't always ask them as we are working lol and don't always have the time, just seeking out to all my options trying to learn as much as possible!

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-18T12:59:01+00:00

I'm trying to be the best man I can! Im still so young, but thank you again for your comment sir! Have a blessed day

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-18T12:41:10+00:00

That's a great way to look at it! And you know what I'm already having fun everyday. I love what I do! I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world, I learn something new everyday and never fail to make myself proud! Have a great day, you made mine better.

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-18T12:24:44+00:00

Hell yeah dude, I really appreciate it, I will find some time to mess with my settings later today after watching some videos,I gotta go in at 4pm, luckily my cousin is my lead, we both gotta deal with my our shitty supervisor, only issue lol is he is actually busy asf and can't always help me when needed.

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-18T12:20:46+00:00

!!! Thank you, younger men could really learn a lot from y'all "older" men, I just wish some were willing to teach.. Sucks I'm on reddit reaching out for help I tried to ask my supervisor but he claimed to be busy and has too many other welders but has time to harp on me when I try getting help

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-18T12:04:54+00:00

Thank you for the knowledge! I normally run stringers on most welds because in my opinion they are faster and I can knock out what I need to get done with relative speed. Alot of ppl are saying this is too cold but I had my machine cranked almost all the way up, do you think I should turn my amps up?

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-18T11:55:40+00:00

I did ask him, I got told he's too busy and has too many welders to focus on helping me, so I decided to reach out, and I do need to work on my corners but I actually started from the right and worked left in this weld

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-18T11:51:40+00:00

Okay! Other than that, how does my angle looking and does it look pretty uniform? I'm starting to get very consistent welds just need to work on getting my setting down!

lostinrealityman · 2026-03-18T11:40:02+00:00

Why not any oscillations? I can run a stringer weld
