Taught my cousin how to lay down some sweet welds. In just a couple of hours he went from only being able to burn through to running some beautiful welds. Now it’s just a matter of time and consistent practice before he becomes a real pro! I hope I can share the same knowledge and skills with all of you!

Well life’s been crazy since getting married, so I haven’t been on here much. I’ve missed the community and seeing y’all’s fantastic work! I’d like to see some of y’all’s recent projects, I need some inspiration on what to make next 😂

Started a new job tig welding aluminum for a trailer company. First day and I was shadowing one of the welders. I noticed everyone had zero stickout. I was handed the torch and i immediately began to pull the tungsten out to give me somewhat of a stick-out. They kindly told me to keep it real short. It’s embedded in the cup almost. Like you can even see it unless you point the cup at you. So now I am confused. It’s a reputable company and the welds look on point. Just curious why. I will be in training until I get consistent beads. I still cant wrap my head about heat on open corner joints. Too hot, too cold etc.. They will have me welding the storage component of the trailer/truck body eventually. Not a lot of welding to do on that component. but it’s go to look good.

Trial is over, going full pedal this 2026 with my tig welding learning journey. Seeing all you pros and everybody's desire to grow is really inspiring and @Grant Pratt ill follow your advice to keep practicing Greetings from Panama City, Panama 👏😬

Big milestone for the group as we hit 300 members! Thank you all for contributing and helping each other. I love seeing the community we are creating!

Carlos your effort and drive to become better is exactly what I want to see in all of our members and you are exactly the kind of person that I want to help make their effort pay off.
