    ok so the people that weld all of our space shuttles airplanes race cars our fucking pipe welders. just got all of there exp from welding at places like Case and Dmi Bobcat? Get really, fuck so you can put down a flat bead and you think you can weld, shit. School matters if you want to do something other then production lines. Just my 2 cents.

    The only reason school matters for those things is because you have a certificate that says you dedicated 2 years of your life to learn everything there is to know about welding. That knowledge doesnt make their welds look better or make them stronger.

          That doesn't even really matter its the welding cert that really matters.

          +1 for zac challengeing Dave Lynne's to a weld off. Dave would make your welds look like shit on pipe. In fact Chad that works there will do the same to you.

          I know Spray, Globular, Short Circuit etc. so way to go assuming shit without actually know most powerful welder from above. I guess that means since I just went to school for 2 weeks all i should know is how to turn on my machine right? Damn I got screwed.

            without getting into any specific stories ive personally witnessed...

            i saw the three of you weld all sorts of things about six months ago and you both have to admit there was a lot of, "hey zac, c'mere!"

              that if i didnt go to school i wouldnt have a damn clue what to do because you have to have pure argon. its the fact that there are 100s of gas mixtures out there and that is half the game having the right gases at places like Case and Dmi they have set guide lines. so dont start saying that you can weld better then other people. because MIG is easy

                Zac is a more skilled welder than I am, so i asked him for help. If I remember correctly it was out of position. He is a skilled person, that doesnt mean school did that to him.

                  Devon, MIG welding is easy. can everyone make it look good or strong enough? no. Anyone can look up on a chart, in a book or on the internet what kind of gas you use. that doesn't really strike me as a necessary skill...

                    I wouldnt want a doctor standing over me in the ER calling for someone that COULD weld titanium, had ATTEMPTED to weld titanium, or even KNEW how to weld titanium, because he only went to daves school of welding for eight weeks....

                          oh wow

                          A.
                          the only person i was calling out here is Thurmanmurman because he made a fucking idiotic statement that insulted my education, no one else

                          B.
                          I was pointing out that i would embarrass dumbass in any process, not Dave

                          C.
                          I am sure the class is a good class, it gives a good intorduction to someone without any welding experience

                          D.
                          NDSCS's welding program is an awsome one, we learned hell of alot more than just running a bead.......... like CNC programming, Jigging, Ect.....

                          E.
                          Sure i welded alot before school, but you dont think i am an exponentially better welder now? ....get real

                          D.
                          I was tight with my second year instructor, and workstudied with him.... where i did tons of various projects, so i guess i got more out of it than most

                          E.
                          Thrumanmuman you dont even have a measurable percentage of knowledge that i do of welding, period

                          F.
                          Ergo,............... I AM A BETTER WELDER

                                        You insulted my schooling. Just cause you went to a certified college doesn't mean shit to me. Whoopie you got a piece of paper that say you can weld. Now no doubt you are a good welder(ive seen your work) I just don't see the point of going to a 2 year school when I can learn alot of the industry in 2 weeks and be able to hold my own. Go ahead tell me I can't weld and that im stupid and I don't know anything about welding. I know what I know and ive only been in this industry for under 3 months. But I guess ill take my 2G cert that i already have and go sulk cause im a horrible welder. I need to find a new career I guess.
