    Yep he’s right season welders can get it started both ways. And the truth is in very detailed understanding of welding knowing when you can tap and when you need to strike depending on different variations of the conditions. 👍

    I've had successes but it usually takes me long to achieve it than most people. I had to install a new front entrance door on our house. I had never done that before. I watched some guys on RUclips do it in 4 hours! Their video greatly helped, but it took me 4 days. These guys did it in 4 hours. I did have some detours that had to be addressed during the installation of the door. I installed all new millwork and it was beautiful when finished, BUT 4 days? I guess I'm getting slower in my old age. I'm 65 and trying to learn MIG welding aluminum and TIG welding Stainless but it is a learning curve. I taught myself machining so I guess I will learn these welding skills as well. Sometimes I ask myself "Why are you bothering learning new skills at 65?" But Hey! I'm having fun! God Bless You and be the best you can be at your trade. Strive to be better than your peers! Take Care!😁

    Remember, weld tests do not transfer to your next job. Welders must test for each job. Also, if you're taking multiple tests (carbon to carbon, stainless to carbon etc.) if you fail one you must take two more tests and pass both or you're gone.

      @KentuckyWeldingInstitute But you see: that's the issue. Companies are becoming increasingly picky and, apparently, incapable of apprenticing and training future Welders past Trade School. Why are they not doing these things and then COMPLAIN that their field is a "dying field"? If it really were a "dying field," then it would do everything in its power to preserve itself instead of locking people out (but I guess that's all my fault).
