    In the words of my old instructor, "I could teach a monkey to mig weld!" Stick has always been my favorite, especially on thick plate. Crank up the pixies and give 'er what Fer.

    AvE and people of the channel here is more philosophical question, about tools in the year 2035. What are the things we do not know we need? This is an open-ended question from a person who dedicated a good part of a decade developing CAD tools. I want to make a better tool so the "CONFUSER" makes sense fro all of us and Fundamental Design (FUN DESIGN) becomes reality using AI. Would you give me some ideas?

    Having had a 5yr apprenticeship in the 1980 in the North Sea oil industry I learnt stick to 6gr and then tig root 6gr and stick fill n cap. Whilst we were taught mig we never took it seriously due to the ease of use. Ie a monkey could do it. I still stand by my training master stick root fill n cap then master tig.

    I lost count of the hundreds of hours running a TIG, doing things like aircraft tubing, (had a FAA weld cert) stainless steel boat jewelry… you know rails, radar arches, garb handles and the like. Yeah it takes hours and hours to get really good at it. Each welding discipline has it's own place and use.

    MIG also takes time to master… many call it a metal squirt gun. Yeah it is but if you don't know how to set things up your welds don't hold up. I can say I have run tons of mig wire through a feeder… I would swap out a 550 pound drum just about every week for five and a half years. Never mind all the places I worked that were set up to use 35 to 44 pound spools.

    Stick used all over and has it's place both in repair and production. I get the fun of fixing heavy equipment that someone else broke… So 6010 and 7018 welding rod is always on hand.

    I use all three types of welding just about weekly where I work. The more you know, and flexible doing different tasks on a job site the more people want to keep you around and working. When it comes to welding I'm still learning new tricks after doing it for 45 years.

    No matter where you work don't be afraid of getting your hands dirty doing someone else's job if for no other reason than to learn something new.
