Welding and Cutting

I did a lot of welding when I worked for a aveling barford( graders , rollers , dump trucks ) , did the big D ramps , couplers , rams for bar Ford site dumpers , also did some stuff for army for falklands war ( not sure what name was but they were like a sled type thing that was either dropped from planes , helicopters) , mostly mig to be honest , just a bit of stick repairing rams if they leaked when pressure tested
Had the masks with the air packs on them / extractors , but I’d of thought welding day in day out for years would not do your health a lot of good , I just did it if a welder was off / or I was short of work on the grinding
When I left the big d couplers we’re being done by a robot , I guess a lot of the work was eventually done by robots , as Cnc machines ( lathes , millers ) took over from manual machines in a lot of cases
Think the plating work looked more interesting , but never got involved in that side of things
