Do you weld as you were taught, or as your employer tells you to? We mig weld this groove in one HOT pass and need it to finish fully convex so it can be machined flat at a later time.2yr ⋅ a_sugar_man ⋅ r/Welding

Is a freehand bevel acceptable content? I know it's only a short cut and a lot of you guys/gals can probably do this in your sleep but I was kinda proud of this one.3yr ⋅ ranger_tim ⋅ r/Welding

I think I'm going to build one of these out of *aluminium* with a thickness of around 32mm/0.2 in, but I'm wondering if aluminium would offer enough support? I'd go with stainless, but it's soooo expensive! Thanks2yr ⋅ siwel7 ⋅ r/Welding
Do any of you have a problem with people walking up to your weld table / immediate work space and just full blown picking shit up? How do you keep people from burning themselves on parts after you have finished welding them? This is the first job where I've encountered this problem.2yr ⋅ No-Suspect-425 ⋅ r/Welding

Is it just me, or are ppl to critical over their welds? It's a weld, if it passes for its intended purpose, then its good enough. To often I get a feeling that to much time is put on how it looks, my employer would kill me if I spent more time on it then was necessary for it to hold its load.2yr ⋅ StyxandStone ⋅ r/Welding
