Reply:Listening is the key bloke. i have worked in workshops with over 200 blokes and in workshops where it is only me and the boss.everyone has something different to add. all you can do is try and piece it all together try different things {amps, rod angle, weve pattern etc} and see what works for you the only thing i can suggest is get yourself comfortable be for you start if you do that your half way there happy weldingWelding is not just a job its an art form
Reply:Go to Lincoln Electric's website and you can read about all the technology. You can probably do the same at Millers website as well.The difference between art and craft is the quality of the workmanship. I am an artist.
Reply:phwelder,Aussie Welder has it absolutely right.I had a college professor that used to tease us by telling us we were going to go to our first job and say “I are Engineer” (intentionally poor English).  He’s point was that we needed to listen to the machinist, drafters, mechanics, etc. that were there working with the product, whatever the product was, for years before we showed up.  He was right.  I learned as much in the first few years on the job as I did from college.There’s an old American saying that goes “Those who can’t do, teach.”  I’d like to replace that with “Those that do it every day are the best teachers”.Good luck on your life journey.Roger
