Improving your welding?

[Shield Arc]

Sorry but I have to put you on my ignore list.

:cool2::cool2::cool2::cool2::cool2::thumbsup:Works for me! I can think of a couple other people here I wish would do the same thing.

Guess this needs to be my first and last post in this forum as I am a self taught welder that learned on my homemade hand wound welder.
The fact that nothing I have welded has fallen apart yet would not count.(hitches, frames, trailers etc). But then I am only 75 and have no experience.
So far my home made implements (drag, forks, ramps subsoiler refuse to let my welds separate), guess I scare them into submission.

I think I know what the problem is. After seeing post on another thread that you answered. I see now that your old your retired and your in snow up to your azz. But this is just my opinion. We need a PROFFESIONAL evaluation from a real psychiatrist

Can't we all just weld along :laughing:

And to think all of these various threads including this one all started a few weeks ago when an old lady came on here and asked what type of welder to buy. The SHTF and the fan has been blowing it around ever since. Now everyone has their "feelers" hurt, the "steely knives" have come out, the ignore buttons have been pushed, and "heck" NO we can't all just weld along!.:laughing:

This thread is getting better every day! Maybe I'm reading it all wrong but who cares. Some of the sarcasm here makes me laugh. Thank you Shield Arc!!

Lets try to figure this out. Shield Arc has willingly gave advice based on years in the trade and has even personally gave and/or offered instruction to anyone who will accept. They gave him glowing reviews on his knowledge and expertise. Somebody else comes along and says Shield Arc has no idea what it's like in the real world. Shield Arc posts pictures of projects he's worked on on Venus and Mars(cause he's not in the real world) in an attempt to back up his advice. Now somebody comes along and claims Shield Arc is boasting about his out of this world experience. All I can say is, I like turtles.:turtle:

I thought he just posted pictures because he knows some of us like welding pictures as well as tractor pictures.

Fear the turtle!

Hmmmm. Given SA's real world experience in welding high level nuclear waste containers, I wouldn't use the word "glowing" in any discussion about him.





But, then, that's just me.

I appreciate the help and tips I get here and really appreciate SA, AW and the others taking their time to help. Keep it up and don't let the other negative posters bother you.

We've been waiting with great suspense to hear how your welding course is going?

Ahh yes, I wasn't able to make the last 3 classes, personal things came up and I've been busy around the property. I'm kinda kicking myself for signing up for a Spring session as opposed to Winter. I'm going to keep going on the basics I learned and maybe give it another go when winter rolls around.
