In all honesty, welding is easy. Up to a point. It is not easy to do a vertical up or an overhead on pipe or plate. A 6G is an extremely hard certification. Passing an NDT can be can be somewhat nerve racking (I do hold a level 2 UX and EMF NDT card.) Especially, when you just spent several hours welding the pipe being tested. Just one dark spot means the weld is getting grounded out and a new weld will be made. I say welders are just as important as doctors as they both perform an invaluable service."...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

kallend 2,147 #277 January 13, 2011 QuoteNot to many jobs that could be discounted. House cat trainer is one that comes to mind. I can think of a few that wouldn't be missed. Telemarketer comes to mind, along with NFL commentators, used car salesmen, the entire "township" level of government in Illinois, "executive assistants" (whatever happened to secretaries?)...... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, you can still bypass the welding process http://www.permalok.com/ The guys who came up with this use to be the top dogs at Progressive Fabrication (Skyline Pipe), Richard Bauman and Arnie Barton. I first saw it in 1995 when Bauman, Mark Barton (Arnie's son), and I were setting up the factory in Ferguson, MO."...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."
