Well its that time of year when we get Vocational High School kids to work with and show them the fine art of fitting and welding. So i ask my kid what he wants to do. He wants to weld, get out on the road and make the big bucks.
My buddies kid (guy next to me) wants to learn the fine art of fitting and blueprint reading. Stay inside, make less but doesn't want to push the button on a mig welder for the rest of his life.
Two kids two different answers and neither one is wrong.
So here are some examples of welding in our shop. First pic. Just sit and push the red button 10 hours a day. The rest of the pics are how i fit my parts which isn't being taught much in welding schools. Plus the kids get to weld my parts. Most guys in our shop hurried thru welding school, owe 12 grand to the school and can't read a drawing and the welding is so so. So anyway here goes...Bob
