Good. I wasn't intoxicated yet when Roy asked me that question... :roll: I did not expect it to take as long as it did. We talked for over three hours to get the hour and changed that got used. Having fun the whole time, but if I had anticipated, I'd have waited a bit to take my prescriptions, and had fewer beers.

They ought to do some behind the scenes for the podcast of some of the weird and funny moments. Same with Jodys videos. Have a montage of mistakes and issues and funny moments just to show another side of the welding trade
An "outakes" episode would be funny. I think I'll suggest it, but I'm not sure Roy keeps the unused stuff.

I roasted Kathleen Porco over that "water in space" thing, when I should have kept my mouth shut. I wasn't wrong, but it was very rude, and I'm sorry I did that.

I wish that had been an "outtake".

I do participate as and when I can. Steve is right, I have A LOT of irons in the fire and that makes it very hard to respond to posts here. I don't mean to neglect this thread or even the members here. I just have to pick when and where I dedicate my time.

Also, as Steve said, I still come on to the forum to do things behind the scenes. Not as much as I used to but I do still try to pull my weight behind the scenes.

As for the emails. We do get quite a lot of emails and they are usually forwarded to each of us (Jody and myself) but I don't manage them myself. Feel free to contact me on which email it was and I will get back to you. superiorweldandfab@gmail.com

I'm hoping for an April fools version. Have Bob Clagett on to discuss the new wood filler for tig that the 3d printing community stumbled on or some such foolishness.

I learned how to weld at night, but not last night. (despite how my weld looks)

April fools ;)

That was from the guys at Bad Obsession Motorsport..

Lots of nice welding and fabrication (and british humour ;) ) in their 4WD Mini project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hCPODj ... g1qjtxA_nq

Bye, Arno.

Guys, I really liked the tig aluminum specifics episode. Would definitely like to hear other material specific topics. How about a metal finishing discussion too? LOL moment. Roy: "wow that is really good info. I'm definitely going to print that off...when I find my printer" (possibly paraphrased)

Yeah, as this was recorded, Roy had just moved a good 1000 miles, and most of his stuff was still in boxes.

I can relate.

Was going to signup for the NYC CNC open house next Friday, found out they expect about 500 people! I can imagine standing room only, I can't imagine they even have parking for that many, tried to see the place on Google Maps but there isn't a street view available. I know Roy and Jonathan will be there, anyone else?

Richard,
I hope you get to attend. We need to at least get to chat for a few mins. The parking will be no issue. The business across the street lets John use their parking lot. Plenty big. This will be the biggest year so far. Crazy how many people will be there. Makes me kinda nervous doing the welding clinics in a way.

Anyone else from the Forum going to the NYC CNC Open House?

Not with anyone that pushes mig and calls hisself a welder! :lol: (you need to listen to the podcast to get the joke) But seriously, I won't be going this year, but it does sound really interesting. I would much rather go to something like that as opposed to Fabtech.

I won't be going this year, but last year there was about 325 people in attendance and it wasn't too bad. I am sure that it will be crowded, but John is usually on top of things. I am sure that they will be even more organized than last year. And FYI they used the parking lot across the street last year. Hope you all enjoy it. It is a nice facility.

Was watching a little of the NYC CNC open house, John did a quick greet with Jonathan Lewis, they'll be doing the weld demo later, not sure when...

If interested go to NYC CNC on YT

The NYC CNC Open House was a blast! Roy Crumrine and myself really enjoyed meeting everyone and try our best to answer everyones questions. I completely forgot about the live recording that was going on. Unfortunately, that was the only time they were able to record what we were doing. Roy did weld up several razor blades and I welded up a couple of the cubes. Honestly, we spent more time talking to everyone there than welding, which was absolutely fine. It was great meeting everyone that came out to see us!

All right, people, Episode 43 of the podcast is definitely worth a listen. Barbie the Welder has a lot to say that I can relate to, though our uses for welding are so different.

My wife would be jealous if I said much more.

I'll try to listen tomorrow, PC #42 was great, a niche market for sure. I've done some of this a few decades ago using a stereo microscope, cool stuff.

Is the podcast on spotify? Spotify is my go-to while working and if they can get on there I assume they'd collect money from it. And I'd be able to listen to it :D
I wish I could do things for the second time, the first time.
Shoot for perfect, get great, think it's only good

Frankly, I don't know. They're on Iheart Radio and ITunes, and several other platforms. Give it a search, and see.

I go directly to the archive, www.wttpodcast.libsyn.com to download or stream it.

Excellent question. Where's episode 44?

I'll have to ask about that.

Sorted. That episode would have recorded on Mothers' Day (and my mom wasn't available), so they skipped the week.

They announced it on the podcast's IG page, so I didn't get a notification because of how I access IG.

I saw on Instagram they were taking a week off to celebrate Mother's Day. That would be why.

Well for one it is a cool place for a welder these days-a lot of welding content
And I didn't mean it in a harsh way. I was just citing my source of information. My apologies if it made you feel upset :D
