Things like that dont make me feel bad about drinking 2 cans of coke a day.

gas no filler?

 

Yes sir, gas no filler.

 

Need to get you on that filler ASAP haha, that's when it gets real

 

That's with the next project.

 

They sure are spending a lot of time teaching you to weld in a manner that pretty much nobody uses. Wonder what the thought process is.

 

That was my thought too, weird to use gas for anything other than small piping jobs and even weirder to use it on anything thick and even weirder again to use it without filler (its weakest)

 

haha besides the sugar and milk fat from the cream i wouldnt say coffee is bad. Actually has lots of benefits from daily intake. Coke aint gonna kill ya either, depends which one and how much tho

 

My school had us on Tig sans filler on the second day. Filler a week later.

I only use gas to dismember things or bend stuff.

 

Another nurse I know told me the death comes from a poor balance of uppers and downers.

 

Same, well I don't hardly use gas at all anymore since plasma is cleaner

 

I drink a cup of joe with a capful of half and half, and half a teaspoon of sugar. Not quite black, but close.

 

Plasma for clean metal, gas for anything dirty. Really not much to it. I figured kwik would be running mig by now.

 

The thought process is using the various ways, how it works, and learning to read puddling, etc.

It helps with TIG they say, but even if you didn't want to learn TIG, it's just something good to know.

They do stainless steel and aluminum later on with TIG which I'm really looking forward to.

 

I mean, I guess. The best way to learn tig welding is to run a tig welder. Its an entire different animal.

You gonna use a foot pedal or go with scratch start like a man?

 

MIG in another week or two.

Spoke too soon, gonna use filler metal today on my second box

 

FIFY

 

Try welding inside a boiler with a pedal. Or any vessel. The place I toured that made nuclear waste containment vessels did everything off of DC stick welders rigged up for tig. Every single weld looked like a robot did it.
