Welding Tips and Tricks

I first want to thank Jody Collier for reigniting my interest in welding though the videos on this web site. I never knew how much I didn't know until I came here.

Hello everyone, I have just about completed two careers in life, and am looking forward to starting a third. I've been trying to teach my self welding and metalworking over the last 50 years and have not done a very good job. I realize I need at least to find a mentor or go back to school, or both. I hope not to make an idiot of myself with what some would say are dumb questions, but I have always said "The only dumb question is the one you don't ask". As my name says, I will always be a welder in training, and I don't know it all.

Welcome aboard. No one knows everything and never will. Is why this forum exists. You get enough people together that know something well you end up having an encyclopedia about welding that knows almost everything. As for finding a mentor, well as long as you have a camera and are willing to share we can probably fill in that position.

W-I-T, welcome to the forum.
