Welding and Cutting

Welding is an art. The satisfaction of watching weld slag lift after a perfect run with an arc welder is immense. Also, when using gas, that skill of melting the metal until its almost burnt through, but having the experience to lay your weld down without burning right through is a hard won skill. When I were a lad…literally, actually, I done 2yrs of the 4yr coded welding exams, with an eye to the money to be earned on pipework. It is serious stuff. In the college, all welds are x-rayed and marked accordingly. So wish I had seen it out, and not become a truck driver… Still comment on bad welding whenever I see it!
