A few weeks ago, I built some small steel parts that will be used by a commercial aircraft overhaul facility.
Commercial aircraft tooling is usually built using drawings supplied by the either the OEM manufacturer or some others tooling designer…and sometimes, they are tough to interpret.
Have you ever built parts from a customers drawings where the drawings were full of errors?
…like welding symbols that call for a .060″ fillet weld using SMAW? (stick welding).
Can you make a .060″ fillet weld with stick? And why would you want to when the work is done in a shop?
In the end We learned It was just a typo and Tig welded it.
Trying to mix it up with more Mig and Stick, but today its TIG again.

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is important and all.
But think of if you added some great visuals
or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is
excellent but with pics and video clips, this website could definitely
be one of the best in its niche. Good blog!

It’s very trouble-free to find out any topic on net
as compared to books, as I found this paragraph
at this website.

hi jody love the site, any chance jody you could show how to weld up frames off any job say like(gates,trailer,etc) where you dont use the stronghand table and show us how you keep the frame square and limit heat distortion because the table is topclass but not everyone can afford one and im sure there is a down and dirty way of doing it keep up the good work.

Jody,
The logo “Welding tips and trips .com was across the middle of the screen as the video was being played and was very difficult to see the video, Rick

Rick-
Sorry for your trouble viewing the video. It sounds like the video didn’t load fully in your browser. Sometimes if the “play” button is clicked before the video has fully loaded, the first frame is the only one you see. You still hear the audio from the video, but you don’t see the video rolling.
Try it again, this time letting the page load for a bit longer before you click “play”. I’ll bet it will work well if it’s given a longer time to load.
Thanks for stopping by. Regards, – Jody

Hei Jody, you should not say “I forgot to clean the material”… You should say “I did not clean the material so you can see the difference between cleaned material and uncleaned material” hahahaaaaa…
