Welding Tips and Tricks

How do everyone, glad to be here with welders of various skills. Currently working as a maintenance pipe fitter/welder in a chemical manufacturing plant. Been here twenty-five years. Previous to that I was in the Navy for nineteen years and was a certified high pressure pipe welder and nuclear power plant welder. My first eight years in the Navy I repaired fast attack nuc subs. The remainder of my career I repaired surface ships of all classes. Current certifications are in GTAW, SMAW and GMAW of pipe. Have a little business on the side to keep me busy and out of trouble.
Look forward to reading a lot of interesting information in here.
