Welding Tips and Tricks

Hey guys Sam here from nj,
Currently in school for pipe welding, 6 weeks in on my stick course and take my 6g bend test next Friday, if all goes well:p then I run the same course with tig and a mix of stick to keep the hands fresh!

Welcome, Sam! I like that you're taking the mix, instead of one after another. As you said, it keeps what you've already done "fresh".

Sure takes a long time to get this muscle memory down! I come in some Mondays and it feels like I have forgot everything haha ! But it's very accelerated so can't fall behind! Sorry for lack of grammar, can't be asked to battle smart phone auto correct.

Welcome Sam! Much respect to you and the other welding students out there. Best of luck to you with your education! Please share as you can along your journey. There is just so much out there to learn

Sam, welcome to the forum.

Thanks guys ! I have progress pics when I get a chance I will post them up ! This is my last week of smaw, so I test Friday, pretty confident. The pictures are what keeps me going, the progress is undeniable ! Feels great, surrounded by an awesome support group in this school, would recommend to anyone.
