Just wanted to introduce myself. I am 34 years old and I live in south Texas. I am a hunter, above all, and only work to support my gun/hunting habit. Started welding almost 20 years ago as a sophomore in high school when I took my first and only welding class. Took a job after graduation at a gas turbine facility where I began learning the millwright trade. I left there after 12 years and took a better job closer to home at a pipe mill, which is where I still am today. I weld every single day, whether it is fabricating new projects or doing a repair in the plant, and I still love it. I have been a millwright/self-taught welder for 17 years and wouldn't dream of doing anything else. Hope to learn a few things and maybe teach a few things amongst my fellow metal workers.
Keep 'em burnin y'all.

Welcome to the forum, my friend.
Nice to see more people who love the line of work they do....
Life is to short not to enjoy it.
Enjoy the forum.

Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.
