The gal on the left side could be my mother in law. She was a welder in the Richmond,Ca ship yards in WW2.
I wouldn’t mind workingwith them, better than a bunch of old farts like I do now.(me included).
Notice, no visible tattoos, no hardware, where hardware doesn’t need to be. I see a nose ring and it reminds me of the hogs on the farm I grew up on to control them. is that what women want now? To have a firm hand to control them? All right get in the kitchen and make me a sammich and get a beer while chained up to the stove…
Explains why he can’t walk. Been chasing them around for too many years.
In his dreams. 🙂
Yes but good dreams they were
My maternal grandmother was a shipyard welder in WW II.

While doing a repair job, a customer remarked that outside of me, he didn’t know anyone who could rod weld. I know several who can, but they’re specialists where I’m just a JoAT.
really, I started out rod welding many years ago. used to have a old headstone welder. and my dad was a fair hand at but he was really good with the old gas setup. he just didn’t like doing it all that much.
he really like building houses and other things OUTSIDE.
he was a machinist in WW2 in the navy and after all of that, he just wanted to work outside in the fresh air.
If I have to weld something critical, rod wins the day.
I recommend Lincoln NS3M wire to weld dozer growsers. Easy and fun, when you know how to do it.
The big logging company welder, who came from a farm background, used to stick weld growsers using 9018 stick, the same rod he used on everything. It took him three passes to fill the gap when building up growsers on a D7 Cat. When he saw me using NS3M wire he asked “Why do you do that in one pass?”, my response was a dumfounded “Because I can?”… because it was a stupid question.
When I worked for the little logger before the big logger I was welding growsers with NS3M wire when the parts man from the Caterpillar dealer walked into the shop and saw the beads I was laying down. He looked at me and said “If I could weld like that, I’d be a millionaire”. My response was “I can, and I’m not”.
For position welding (welding in the flat position), filling large gaps where high structural integrity is not the priority, Lincoln NS3M wire can’t be beat. That is if they still even make it.
I loved the stuff.
She gives new meaning to “fiery redhead”
