Anything welding

And hire more stupid? Have you seen the labor pool? It needs to be drained and refilled.

 

Looking for some criticism. I've been welding on my truck for about 6 months so very new to this. What do y'all think?
Plating the frame and notched the frame for coilovers

 

I would say those are just fine welds. I know from experience, that welding in the very awkward positions required for frame work, that you really can't do much better.

Once you run the flap wheel over them, then whatever coating you want to apply, no one will be able to criticize.

 

Cool, thank you. Yeah I can make some purdy dimes on flat and vertical down but this overhead sux!!!

 

Dont think Ive ever really seen someone do their shocks like that on a rear 4 link

 

Give yourself another 10 or 15 years of experience as long as you can see the joint are comfortable the welds all start looking the same no matter the position !!!

 

He is a good kid he makes it to work about 8 days out of 10 only 15 or 20 minutes late most days

 

I gotta disagree, Craig. As we get older, there is no way we can pull off the welds we laid down when we were younger.

If its not in a comfortable position, my weld presentation will suffer.

 

Fcking A. He sounds like a keeper.
@stairgod would hire him in a heart beat.

 

is it possible to get a weld like that using fluxcore mig?

 

I think I was at my peak between 35 and 45

 

The older I get, the more I realize, success is just showing up on time...and passing a whizz quiz.

 

I agree 100 percent.

 

I am not a stickler for time. I am however big on output and quality. And if you show up 20 minutes late, you better be willing to stay an hour past quitting time.

 

Nice job given your experience. Welding is like anything else. Ends up coming down to muscle memory. In time you will be able to produce even welds regardless of position.

 

How fucking old are you anyway?

 

You can't ask that question during an interview.

 

That's ok. He's not interviewing you. @stairgod only interviews and hires stupid and tardies.

 

I try not to think of that answer !!

I see a reflection in the Mirror and wonder who it is

If Medicare is still around in 4 years I can sign up

I was all set to semi retire at 45 ( Meaning I could be real picky about taking jobs)

I trusted my then wife till she ran off with her girl friend after building a nice 6 figure nest egg by not paying the bills I was handing her a few thousand in cash every week

 

Brutal. How long were you married? If you don't mind me asking...
