This past weekend I was installing a beautiful railing for client that I had worked with before. I went through all the normal motions of measuring and finding all the perfect angles and went back to the shop to create some new iron railing goodness.
Everything went smoothly in the shop and I finished up all the fab work in a pretty short amount of time. The problem showed it’s head almost immediately when I began to set up the railing to bolt down to the deck.
My BIG Screw Up
In this quick video you’ll learn how to quickly fix a welding mistake, that can happen to anyone, without looking like a total idiot in front of your customers.
No matter how experienced of a welder you are, these types of mistakes will occasionally happen. Chances are I probably just accidentally bumped something and it threw everything off.
How Do You Handle Mistakes?
What welding mistakes have you made in the past and how did you deal with them? Let me know in the comments below.

Thanks Andy,
Would have been good to see what you did before the video started, how you “pulled” it in and what you did next to fix it.
Keep it coming.

I’ll have a follow up video real soon. Since it was just me and my iPhone, I couldn’t film the actual techniques.
Ouch! It’s good to see you were able to fix it.
Take Care,
John
