Not very good welding

[DaveH]

Thanks guys, I cheated again

Last week I went to a place “Artisan Academy” they teach all the different types of welding, boiler making and a few other things. Companies send guys there to learn how to weld and get accredited (or whatever it’s called)

Me being my normal cheeky self just needed someone to show me the right way – I didn’t want to spend 4 weeks there (or however long the courses are), just a quick in and out.

The guy I met there ( a very nice guy by the way) said no problem, bring your welding machine, rods etc. and a few bits you want to weld,
One point he did make was, I would find it easier to weld if I didn’t wear bi-focals (too much head nodding)

So today I arrived 9.30am, I was back home at 2 o’clock.
I have to say what an excellent ‘teacher’ he is, extremely good.
Didn't charge me so I took him for a pub lunch.

Got home and did a couple of welds - Stick welding.

Now that's what I call a good day
