We'd always watch the track cutter as it cut the coupon. When the torch hits a slag inclusion the molten steel shoots up like a little geyser. Everybody would cheer like old faithful just went off.

We have a winner!" and such.Farmwelding wrote:Kind of reminds me of welding school when watching somebody else's bend test-making noises that make it questionable and then they get real worried.

We used to be especially hard on new guys in- of all things- barge repair and restoration. Dirty rotten metal that would never see the light of day after the welds were done. But a new kid would ask "How does this look?" and we'd give it the old "Hmm... " stink eye. It pushes progress and skill though, and the do have to be good, no matter where they're at.
General welding questions that dont fit in TIG, MIG, Stick, or Certification etc.

So do any of you guys feel like this? That is those of you that don't weld as good as Jody.

There he is!
A few people were speculating about your where abouts. There were a few threads that were missing your special touch.

2. Wisconsin accent ain't that bad(at least to me it isn't)
3."don't ya know" is more Minnesota than anything which is appropriate for me seeing that's where half my family is from and where I go for 3 months every year.
