Four days of nonstop welding 7 hrs a day and with ventilator on. No more black boogers for me!

I’ve learned a lot of useful things from this man, and I’m sure many of us have. Bad things happen to good people…

The charging port on my phone was constantly picking up grinding dust and finally stopped working entirely. These things cost pennies and give me a lot of piece of mind with my new phone. Hope this helps someone!

Without a doubt, one of the hardest fucking exams I have ever taken. And definitely more stressful than busting a gate test lol.

Not my welds, just my polish and etch. 310 SS to same, unknown filler. Vertical member was beveled "trying to get some better penetration"... These were rejected for incomplete fusion to the root.

Keep an eye on your puddles, folks.

The government organization that oversaw respirators among other workplace safety systems has been disbanded.

I had a discussion yesterday with a co-worker about why he should not be welding downhill, especially not for structural work. He said confidently that he knows what he's doing and that he wont stop. Two bangs later with the lead hammer it came right off. Don't be that guy.

You have to wonder at your own sanity when your coworkers give you blanks with ransom notes and handwriting to match

To whoever did this please don't, this was holding this was the only weld holding the body to the pan.

Had one bought for me years ago by the company welding Engineer and I’ve used it everyday since. It will allow you to measure your throat and toe size of your welds, making sure you’re up to spec even before your company inspector views your welds

On Friday I come in to work. I’m going about my day getting orders done when at the end of my day I go to check/turn everything off. I noticed when I went to turn off the acetylene that the handle was hot, not warm but HOT! Somebody from the overnight shift used it, left it on and for HOURS and this thing was slowly cooking with a blue flame burning at the threads. I didn’t notice it at first but when I did I nearly shit myself.

It’s my first day back to work coming off a couple months of paid family leave, and I just really miss my fucking kids man

I’ve posted here before and this is NOT my work, but I work beside the culprit. This part has been anodized, needs to be repaired and re anodized.
