Default Just out of HS, 3rd day welding!

What I have been doing at my new job at IPS Motorsports. Just some welding and fabrication.

Not to bad for my 3rd day ever doing it. Almost kinda a natural.

Need more consistency, but not too bad.







Any and all input is appreciated. I have been giving a great chance to go in, weld for 8 hours, and go home, to try and finally become a ""paid" employee. I honestly see myself getting paid after 3-4 months. Prolly 2 months to get my welds down to a acceptable standard, and and the rest dedicated to the fabrication part! I will post more pics as I bust stuff out.

Some more stuff. I have improved a great amount in 9 days. I mean I would hope when all I am doing is welding. I have built some intake pipes and other Misc stuff. for around the shop. I am a "NATURAL".

The dialogue in this dudes posts is comical. I just get this image of him patting himself on the back after every weld.

It looks like you are on the right track. People don't care how long you have been welding, if this is what you want to do just keep at it.

I just am excited. Thats all.

I mean honestly I think if anyone does what I have been doing, welding for 2 weeks, they would be near the same point.
