Just remember, NO-body is FORCING you to post what you are saying.
Having said that:
Real world welding?
who me?..................
"used" a welder before? Gee, I guess not.....
but I think someone just "owned" a Stengun................LMAO!
raise your hand if:
You've welded at depths exceeding 300fsw.
You've welded at depths of 45ft.........in a Nuclear facilities cooling tower.
You've got 4 pages of "experience" like that on your resume.
StenGun.......let it go......your only going to make things worse, and I'm not here to feed this vibe you've created. I originally posted, and said NOTHING about who was posting what. You were the one requesting what is turning into a pseudo-confrontation.
Let it go. I've done more Stick welding at depth that you've done topside, and that's the least amount of "welding experience" I have.
