Brandi I had a "girl" welder work for me for years! On bigger jobs when we had to have less experienced "guy" welders, and I was too busy Deana would help these "guys" set their welders, and help them get started. Deana ended up teaching welding for the union apprenticeship!:cool2:

Like the old saying goes............"Behind every good Man is a Woman".
hugs, Brandi

Good advise about being careful when making weld repairs to road going machinery. I'm not the best weldor in the world, but I routinely show my appreciation for my neighbors letting me borrow their trailers by making various repairs to them. Last one in got a new wiring harness for the emergency brake and a lot of straightening and welding on the fenders. Both repairs were carefully examined and tested to make sure they were sound and worked as intended, a final step that all too many so called professionals frequently leave off. Checking my work also goes a long way to helping me sleep at night, especially after those trailers go back to their owners.:2cents:

One thing I do know is to double check my work. Being an aircraft mechanic all my life has taught me that. Often we double check each others work, before calling an inspector. Even on cabin stuff, as we don't like to get gate calls (10 minutes before a flight) about something cosmetic.
