No I as well and that's the reasons those Regulations are in place. Especially OSHA.

If you've never seen the carnage not following these things can bring, you wouldn't understand. That's a generic statement btw.

That's why I dedicate myself to learning and Especially teaching why these matter. Extremely high stress

OSHA. They are poking around here lately. Every employee in our company recently went to forklift school. It was a joke. mtmuley

Ah, forklift "school" lol. Been driving them over 30 years. It's not complicated. Know how everything works and know your limits, especially weights, heights and terrain.

Rigging and running cranes is a different matter. Both though, anytime something is in the air, better be 100% focused.

Yeah. The instructor gave the answers. If you are able to retain information for an hour you pass easily. I too have operated the rough terrain lifts a long time. But now I'm certified. mtmuley

Neighbor brought over some stuff and asked for a hand after finding out that flux core is a pain on thin stuff. Got to practice some torch cutting as well.

Great example. Always tell my guys if you feel like something is off, just stop and we'll evaluate. There is nothing in this type of work getting anyone hurt or worse.

Yeah I like running it on bigger stuff that I dont care about aesthetics for since I don't have a shop. Other than that though I dont really care for it. Never had a chance to run much dual shield at work either.

Yep. Dual shield Flux is a gold standard in most structural and definitely Bridge work. Aesthetics hardly matter overall. Following the process and wraps were.

I set into place an alternative "special " process found in shipbuilding for our PG work.

Was a spray transfer process from 035", 045", up to 1/16" ER-70S-6 wire and 309L same sizes. Using a 95% Argon, 3% CO2, and 2% Oxygen gas mix. Was an absolute "hotrod" but burnt deep, was forgiving of some imperfections, and would challenge you in the Aesthetic aspect. Looking consistent was the 1st step in the CWI inspection.

All that aside, it made jumping into the common processes a whole lot easier.

Needed to get some reinforcements on my pipe rack so I started it yesterday but couldn't finish. Crazy wind today so I had to break out the stick welder. Got it finished though.
