Reply:Ha! Funny story about that. Last year these seniors harassed me so much for being a welder. They shout hurtful things in the hall and send threatening messages. Not to long after they barely graduate. One of them comes to my shop one day and I thought he was going to go through with his threats. Turns out the other kid had been locked up for drug possession. He came to me knowing I had money and he said they needed only 1200 more dollars for bail. I walked to my cabinet and wrote a check for 1200 in my name. Walked back to the kids truck showed it to him, then I pulled out my lighter and lit it on fire in front of him. My exact words were "karma's a bitch now you got 10 seconds to get out of her or the cops are on their way" and today both those boys flip burgers at McDonald's when they're not cooking methSent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2

Reply:Swampy you remind me of me except the part about being able to write a check that big. Unfortunately or Fortunately I was OFT old school at your age. I spent a lot of money on alcohol and women in the early days. The rest of my money I just wasted.Arcon Workhorse 300MSPowcon 400SMTPowcon SM400 x 2Powcon SM3001968 SA200 Redface1978 SA250 DieselMiller Super 32P FeederPre 1927 American 14" High Duty LatheK&T Milwaukee 2H Horizontal MillBryan

Reply:17 years old here... joined this forum like a year ago I think and been learning as I go =PI've seen a couple other teenagers post but they don't say much, I come and go I'm usually lurking looking at whatever piece of information I can use. I think I've actually learned more on these forums, youtube videos, and actual hood time than at school hitting the books regarding welding O_O?I was doing the AWS D1.1 3g vertical up weld cert test the other day, didn't get to finish it. Might post pics up and hopefully get some advice

Reply:ya I'm 23 started welding at 15 by accident all the courses in highschool were full and it was that or drama. As far as i was concerned people in highschool are fake enough as it is they didnt need the acting lessons.
