If thats too hard for you to explain to me then why are you on this forum ?For people that want to help me im sorry If I am being a bit blunt here, Im confused with exactly what it is that welders do ?Like plumbers can work with boilers doing gas etc, others will just work with bathrooms.  Another example of liberal thinking, give me because I'm too (insert noun here, take your pick apathetic, asleep on the job, careless, comatose, dallying, dilatory, drowsy, dull, flagging, idle, inattentive, indifferent, indolent, inert, lackadaisical, laggard, lagging, languid, languorous, lethargic, lifeless, loafing, neglectful, out of it, passive, procrastinating, remiss, shiftless, slack, sleepy, slothful, slow, slow-moving, snoozy, somnolent, supine, tardy, tired, torpid, trifling, unconcerned, unenergetic, unindustrious, unpersevering, unready, weary)

Reply:If the world didnt have qualified welders the rest of the world would be nothing by plywood and super glue, were the ones keeping your lights on when theirs a failure at a generating station, were the ones building the bridges you drive over, we make your space and aero craft, we build your cars, erect your sky scrapers that you work in, we provide you with gaslines to your pumps so you can drive your cars, we make your oil refiners and off shore oilrigs, we construct sanitary piping in facilities that make your food(s) dare i continue? oh and lastly but not least we make a **** ton of money at it because were good at what we do.
