New guy checking in. I'm relatively new to welding. Got my first mig welder and stick welder a little over a year ago. Looking to add a Tig welder to my home machine shop in the near future.

Thanks Craig let me add to my introduction then. My name is Brian I am 41 years old and am a production supervisor in a tool & die shop. With the help of Jody's videos and asking questions on another welding forum I have learned to weld and am definitely still learning. Here are a few pictures of a few welding projects.

A stand for my saw

Angle plate for my milling machine

Fixture to practice vertical and horizontal welds

Brian,
Welcome to the forum.

I think you're going to need more firewood for that wood stove if it stays like it was this morning, I had 20* on the car dash.

We have a few others on here from around Pittsburgh. I'm from New Kensington area if you know where that is. Nice group of guys who are willing to share what they know just for the asking.

Feel free to contribute by either asking or answering questions as you can.

It was a little frosty this morning wasn't it? I know where New Kensington is. I live in Elizabeth Township.

Thanks for the welcome!!

Brian,
Quite familiar with that area, delivered to Clariton Works and Guardian Glass for years. Used to get into El Ramo power plant on occasion. Haven't been down that way for awhile though. Nice to have you aboard.
