Welding Tips And Tricks For The Beginner Welder And Hobbyist

About Me

img_5077 I’m a husband and a father of two beautiful girls. I’m an artist, an entrepreneur, a lover, a fighter, a sit on the couch with a cold beer after a long day, spend as much time with my family kind of guy.

I’ve punched clocks and I’ve made clocks. I’ve had terrible jobs and I’ve had great jobs. I’ve created businesses, ran businesses, and closed businesses.

Why Welding?

I didn’t know the first thing about welding when I landed a job as a welder. I just needed a job and quick.  Thankfully, I had a great teacher. By the end of the week I was creating original tables and art pieces. And not because I’m some artistic genius either. My boss had a lot of scrap metal and I needed some practice.

O.K., so maybe there was a little talent there.

After spending a couple of years making cool stuff for my friends I decided to start my own ornamental ironworks business. The fact that my employer was about to go down in flames helped out a lot with that decision as well.

Through the years I’ve had the privilege to make all sorts of crazy stuff, giving me a huge  amount of experience with different welding tricks and techniques. I’ve learned the easiest most productive methods to get started with nothing and start making money quick.
