This has been my life at work the past week:

So yeah, I've been filling holes, gaps, and welds that aren't positioned correctly by the robot programmers. Hundreds of them. I just shake my head and keep my hands busy. It's honestly pretty pleasant work. I'm very good at aluminum TIG. It is easy to get into a really good flow state and I can listen to music and podcasts and no one bothers me at all. 😁 I get to stack dimes in the fiat mines so I can convert more fiat into BTC for my future!

Nice work Sir!

Proof that automation doesn't always live up to the hype.

Stack dimes. Stack sats.

Love seeing this type of stuff. πŸ‘πŸΌ

I feel you could put together a very nice aluminium bicycle frame too.

Nice looking repair! It’s interesting the weld pulled to one side of the joint and sucked into the root gap. Path really favored that side of the joint in that short length. How was the original fit-up/fixturing within the robot cell? Issues with the seam tracking? Never works too good on aluminum. Keep crushing it 🀘

Sigh...I wish I could weld like that...

😳 😳 😳

Beautifully done sir

Nice! I’m looking to get into welding, playing around with a few jobs at home

If you need any advice, please let me know. I'm very good at getting people up to speed with welding! 😁

Thanks mate, Will do. I’m looking at picking up a second hand Cigweld 160 MIG / Stick welder. 10 amp ⚑️

I would highly recommend NOT learning to weld with the MIG process first. It's going to hold you back from learning how metal behaves. Stick is hard to learn in your own, but, it's a better place to start than mig. TIG really should be the first place to start even if it has the steepest learning curve because it's really about the simplest way to get intimately acquainted with how metal melts.

Good info! Yeah I’d read that learning to weld stick was a good beginning point because of its simplicity.
