You weren't at NTI were you? FWIW, how good of a welder/fabricator are you? I have a lead on doing some welding/fab work if you might be interested. Just need to know what the experience level is.

I am only 20 so its not like I have a lot of experience but I did a lot of welding back home and am a member of the American Welding Society and am quite confident with my MIG abilities. I can TIG but I am not going to say I am an expert by any means but with some more time at Im sure I could make it look pretty. When I get a chance Ill post up some pics of my MIG and a few things I have fab'd up.

Heres a few of the welds I did, that little contraption is about every weld you will find on a modern day NASCAR stock car.

Very nice welds man. I took welding back in high school, but we mostly used stick welders. Mine never came out as clean as that. Awesome overlap. But then again maybe if I used a wire welder more, I could have done a better job. Kudos to you!

Thanx Man. Yeah MIG will come out a lot cleaner then stick. I wish I had one TIG'd up but I dont. It prolly wouldnt be quite as pretty but I should probably practice tigging a little more. lol Thanx

Not much well currently I am staying in Raleigh temporarily. Where are you working at these days? I know that one kid at school asked about you...( i dont even know his name, he was in FACT.) Yeah I definately remember him, I got the name and number and everything from him and am going to call them and hoefully sey up an interview and everything.


Hey madman what is the location on details of the welding position you are looking for...I am always open for new opportunites.
