This Company owner knew I wanted to get ahead, so ordered the Foreman
- "Don't let Richard weld - he doesn't know how to". Well, this job
comes in with far thicker plate than anyone has ever met - even the
"old-timers" with 40+ years experience. They couldn't get their welds
to "stick" in those slot-welds. None knew spray-transfer. Co. had
one really good machine, and I flipped it up into spray and was
putting in these slot welds easier than shelling peas. These big
structurals were up on plinths, so I was up there in the middle of the
shop, on top of these things, putting in the welds no-one else could.

You could get a high-paying job welding submarine hulls, and be invited
aboard for the test dive.
