I might be able to get the 18 but you say you want me to do this all the time and all day long :?: :?:

I would be about a 23.50 welder I guess.

I think I still owe them money from my welding test.

Good story, funny too. Looks to me that in the top photo, there is both the el cheapo weld and the more expensive one. I do wonder though whether that lower photo is a machine weld.

 

[in-too-deep]

Good! Similar story about a dozer operator.

Funny story, welding is a good trade. Pipeline welders in my area start out at about $60 an hour....

I think the bottom one is a TIG weld- good TIG welds look like a series of overlapping dimes. Maybe you can get a MIG weld look like that, but I've never even been able to come close.

What does it mean if your weld looks like loose pocket change mixed with some gum wrappers and concrete chunks?

 

[Ken Macfarlane]

Welds don?t look nearly as good when it?s a jagged crack with oil and chaff and paint stuck all over it because you can?t get a grinder in there... need to be back in field so you crank up the buzz box and go to town!

That would be a 12$ weld and a 58$ dollar weld in PA.

Are you guys sure that TIG weld is hot enough? I am certainly no weld pro, but that looks too cold to my untrained eyes. We need john f mn or welding man to take a look.
