          oh wow

          A.
          the only person i was calling out here is Thurmanmurman because he made a fucking idiotic statement that insulted my education, no one else

          B.
          I was pointing out that i would embarrass dumbass in any process, not Dave

          C.
          I am sure the class is a good class, it gives a good intorduction to someone without any welding experience

          D.
          NDSCS's welding program is an awsome one, we learned hell of alot more than just running a bead.......... like CNC programming, Jigging, Ect.....

          E.
          Sure i welded alot before school, but you dont think i am an exponentially better welder now? ....get real

          D.
          I was tight with my second year instructor, and workstudied with him.... where i did tons of various projects, so i guess i got more out of it than most

          E.
          Thrumanmuman you dont even have a measurable percentage of knowledge that i do of welding, period

          F.
          Ergo,............... I AM A BETTER WELDER

Get really, fuck so you can put down a flat bead and you think you can weld, shit. School matters if you want to do something other then production lines. Just my 2 cents.

                        You insulted my schooling. Just cause you went to a certified college doesn't mean shit to me. Whoopie you got a piece of paper that say you can weld. Now no doubt you are a good welder(ive seen your work) I just don't see the point of going to a 2 year school when I can learn alot of the industry in 2 weeks and be able to hold my own. Go ahead tell me I can't weld and that im stupid and I don't know anything about welding. I know what I know and ive only been in this industry for under 3 months. But I guess ill take my 2G cert that i already have and go sulk cause im a horrible welder. I need to find a new career I guess.

                              If you have half a brain and hand eye cordination you can be decent @ Mig the first day using it.

                                    None, we're self taught.

                                    FYI you don't have to take a class to get cert'd since everyone keeps talking about school to get a piece of paper.

                                    You could walk in my door tomorrow and say i took this class went to this school, i gte this certificate but its not gonna matter im gonna walk you back to the machine and tell you to lay me a bead. Schooling and papers mean nothing to me if you cant run a bead. Exactly why i did't go to college i cant concentrate reading a damn book and writing a written test but give me the work hands on and i'll do it.

                                      Rookie Fab (as we call him here @ the shop, aka known as DrifterExtreme) has progressed 10 fold since he started here and i guarntee it isn't because he took no damn 80 or whatever hour TIG class....

                                        Being we're on the subject...does anyone on here have a tig, and would be willing to give a crash course on how to do it and let me do some practicing...I could pay for materials or something if needed. I've always wanted to learn tig, since our school only did mig, arc, and oxy-acytelene welding in metals class.

I've always wanted to learn tig, since our school only did mig, arc, and oxy-acytelene welding in metals class.

                                          Oxy acytelene has the same initial concept as TIG, practice up on that and get to learn a rythm of making a puddle and you'll be 10 steps ahead when you try TIG
