Finally graduated my course today! It was an 8 month course, 2 months theory/bp reading and then 6 months in the shop welding. I’ve graduated passing all the requirements, SMAW 1G 2G 3G 4G. MIG and Flux core 1G. TIG stainless and aluminum now as well, these were the last two I had left.

Aluminum was tough as hell to start but it became my fav by the time I was done with it. I failed my first MIG test (posted about that here) and also my first stainless test. Doing an open root for stainless TIG was a lil tricky but I got the hang of it now real good.

Just glad it’s all said and done with, I feel really accomplished.

Been doing a welding program since January, first two months was blueprint reading and theory and afterwards we started in the shop.

I already got certified for SMAW in all positions but I failed my first MIG test 😞. I was a dumbass and had my shade turned all the way up so it was too dark and I messed up the cap.

Anyways 2 weeks later I did the MIG and flux core test together and here are the results. Working on TIG now which is my favourite.

We were going crazy as a squad all night, getting hella kills every game but this was finally the win.
