Thinking ahead - Version No. 2

admin

Last night at welding class, I had a conversation with my welding instructor about “what’s next” in the course.   He said, if I want to do next semester with him, then it’s what he refers to as “pipe & plate.”   This first semester has 3 more classes, and we’ve done stick for 5 weeks, MIG for 5 weeks, and are now on TIG until the end of the course, and if things go well, maybe TIG some aluminum on the last session.I’m thinking seriously about taking another semester, and getting a couple of certs.   Since I already have all my safety equipment, then I can save around $300.   Seems the consruction industry and manufacturing sectors of our local economy value certs.   I still want to do a side hustle when I retire, but a couple of certs couldn’t hurt, and might could get me some side work perhaps?   Maybe smaller jobs that the bigger outfits don’t have time for?   Whatcha think?Miller Multimatic 215Spoolmatic 150 spool gun, Miller TIG kitPrimeweld Cut 60 Plasma CutterVevor Pipe StandsBauer Portaband/Swag tableGrinders-Milwaukee, Porter Cable, DewaltArcUnion M-20 portable rod oven
