Hey guys,
I've been following these threads for a few years and finally made the move over here. Like a lot of y'all, I'm prior service; Army. Spent a few years welding when I got out. I mostly did portable stuff, carports, fences, barns, etc. Never seemed to get much shop work, but I was always busy. I still build some barns and do side work for people I know, but not near as much as I used too. Currently I'm back in school and about 1/2 way done with a 3 year program here at TCU. Hope all is well with everyone.
Thanks,
Logan

Welcome aboard Logan
Since you're a professional welder, you can't look at or comment on my many "Welds"

Welcome Logan!
I think a lot of us are backyard welders. So don't feel bad if you get some ugly.
There are a few spots on my bumper that are luckily on the inside under a 1/4" of undercoating.
Little bit of time back on it and everything cleans up.
Glad you're here!

Heh, I've never described myself as a professional welder. I'm a pretty fair hand but not a pipeliner by any means. Got some good memories of Bliss, Donna Anna actually. Got to spend a few days out there when someones rifle walked off during a night qual. Spent the next 3 days walking thru the desert looking for that thing. Good times were had by all!!! We've got a little land in Cloudcroft, not too far from El Paso, with a small off the grid cabin; good place to get away too.
