Weld looks like they’re doing a pretty good job I’d say.

Ima show this to my welder husband and give him a boner

I’m welding my gate today, but never did it before.

As a welder who loves weld porn. I have to be the guy who says #1 isnt real. There is no puddle!

Been welding aluminum 4 years (boat docks), finished tech school with a degree and still love it. This stuff takes years to get to perfect!

Yes good job. Weld done

TIL MIG globular transfer looks like a hamster water bottle

Tis no man.

But why do we need to cut the plasma?

Weld, weld, weld what have we here

"PLAAAASSMMAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
IxnayOnTheOttenRay
Yeah no. Still not messing with the molten metal.
IHateYourSandwhich
Drafter here, no matter how much we Google or cry to visit shop/site, we rarely get to see welding in action. Priceless, even if animated.

They make me mig with C02. It’s been two months, I’m still pining for 85/15

That’s really amazing...& super scary to the untrained person watching.

My instructor’s words on globular transfer: “Honestly, regardless of what anyone says, I would not use this.”
hardestreign365
Yeah pretty much. It's such a specific heat range. Pretty much short circuit and spray transfers are where it's at.

My instructor felt the same way. I've never seen or heard about anyone using it since I was in school.

That last one is my grommet after Taco Bell.

third from last is the clearest photo of MIG glob transfer I've ever seen. Anyone got high res for spray transfer?

Quarter inch fillet weld if I ever saw one
Beepity
More of a dime inch fillet weld.
SavageGoH
Nah those welds are a dime a dozen.

I thought so too when I started a welding career. I mostly spend my days grinding minor inconsistencies out of welds because I didn't have
Krimper
Good enough access to lay a flawless weld to start with. Starting to get sick of it
Conkker82
The problem is there isn't such a thing as a flawless weld. Went to college for it and my teacher said we will never get a 100 in the shop
Conkker82
Because it's impossible to make a weld deserving one

Don't be bitter, get better

BF had a similar experience. He'd been a welder for like 12 years, just gave it up about 2 years ago in favor of trucking and loves it.
hardestreign365
Its rough to get into the field. Most community colleges have decent welding courses. Be wary of trade schools.

I got in through the union, am a 3rd year apprentice and turn out next year. I hear so much but I want to see for myself
Krimper
I only went through vocational at my highschool but it was still misleading. I'm 5yrs in now. It isn't a bad job, but perfection rarely
hardestreign365
Oh ok. Hope you can use it as a stepping stone to better!

Machinist here. Jump ship every 2-3 years. Learn new stuff. Network with high end guys. Get that wage up. Don't be stagnant.
StoptheInfamousElGuapo
recently minted CNC Machinist. I just started a new job (last one was a button pushing gig) and I am learning SO MUCH but it is stressing
Krimper
Happens when working on industrial stuff. Grind it til it's good is just a part of it if you do top level work and I don't really like that.
DoubleChungTransplant
A grinder and paint make me the welder I ain't.
