well I just took a dot style test for my welding in boces. was pretty cool make a few welds up hill down hill and sideways and then we hack it up and send it to a hydro jack and bend it in half. lol make or break right then. anybody else taking welding classes? I will get some pics up later this week. next week tiging piping getting ready to make some ram horn mani's

 

Just starting some welding classes as part of Millwrights schooling.No tig for me though just shitty arc welding.I'm going to take some private tig lessons this winter so when a buy one in spring I can start fabbing me a ramhorn and a million other things.Do you find the tig harder to learn than arc or wire feed?

 

I worked for a short time as an instructor, now I'm just a run of the mill blue-collar welder.

Tig is going to be a lot more involved than wirefeed. You'll have to be able to use both hands, and in some cases a foot to manipulate the puddle and form a good weld. The most frustrating test I had to pass was copper-nickel pipe penetration.

Good luck with your classes.

 

where u takeing class at

 

maybe you should try passing english class...

 

I was thinking about taking some welding classes but not sure yet,... lets see those pics!

 

perhaps you should look into that......

 

maybe both you ******* need to go ---- yourselves?

atleast he has a turbo project on here. unlike your fake asses.

you ******* are so pathetic that you need to pick on someones disability. just so u can feel good.

you ------- shitbags.

 

well you really have to know how to acr weld at first basicly to do anything. you have to lean how to control the puddle first on something easy like arc before you can go on to other things more involved like tig. I mean when I tried tig after learing arc pretty good it seemd pretty easy to me I just have the problem being borderlin diabetic that I shake alot so, it can be hard to keep a nice steady puddle but if you can master keeping you puddle like the shape of your fingernail you can master pretty much anything in time.
and I am currently taking classes at boces. in western ny was a free clase offered from a ged class I was taking at the time. I will be going back this january to take the 2nd class for high tensile steel and propably stainless I am going to work on getting certified as a dot approved welder with the 1" thick plate bend test. : )

 

dude who are you talking about?
