Welding when you’re not 40 anymore…

Don't let that 6010 rod get you down kerndog. That rod is for dirty rusty contaminated metal welding. When you get to the Tungsten Inert Gas welding it will open up a whole new world of welding opportunities for you. Melting the filler like butter or just fusing pieces together with no filler at all. It is a very clean beautiful weld. I work in a factory/fab shop that builds stainless coils for very large industrial applications. There are a couple of young gals in here that make me feel like an amateur when I look at their beautiful tig welds. They do it every day in very precarious positions like it is just second nature to them. I think Syleng 1 was the poster...A huge part of it is your breathing and walking the cup. Some of these guys, and gals even verbally count when they are breathing to lay down the welds to make them more consistent. Enjoy the course!
