Do you weld?
Discussion
Yep
What do you make? I can weld and have the equipment but I'm like 🤷♀️ blank. I want something useful
I weld for Mercedes Benz and BMW
It’s my day job
Oh that's interesting! Is it wire feed??
No
Mostly TIG
Dipping a filler rod into the puddle
I can do wire feed(MIG)
But it’s been years
I can also stick weld, mico weld, and laser weld
But 99% of the time I have a foot pedal control my heat. Gun in one hand, and filler rod in the other hand…. Dipping in the puddle.
I repair broken shit
Not create new shit….
Ive welded on plastic injection molds for STIHL ( like the chainsaws)
And huskyvarna- molds forming plastic parts for like weed eaters and backpack blowers…
Now I’m back in high pressure aluminum die cast
So instead of the shooting plastic into to mold it’s Liquid Metal.
Over time the cutting edges wear out…
Or parts of the mold or dies get damaged
I weld it up and either machine it back to brand new or hand work it in with like grinders and stones….
Badass Bro 😎
You should make YouTube content if you don't already
Yes, but I could snap the welds with my genitalia
Sounds like a nice set of genitals hahaha
No, not really.
20 years ago I was doing a job and I required some custom metal brackets to be made. I got somebody in our shop to weld them up, he thought he did a really good job.
I took them to site, and one of the workers there mentioned he would snap those welds with his cock.
I went back to the guy that made them and told him what I heard. He got really upset, I had to tell him not to shoot the messenger
Hahaha, I hear ya. Great story lol
