You might be a weldor if

your wife says lets put a lil spark back in to our love life and you clamp your ground to her toe and your stinger to her ear and fire up the ole engine driven welder and then wonder if you have plenty of gas in it.

You might be a weldor if

while at church the collection plate comes by and you think to your self that looks like it would work as an end cap on that stainless project your working on after church

When you are at your favorite steakhouse waiting for them to finally catch the cow, and ya squirt a line of ketchup on your pate in anticipation, and wish your beads came out that good. Welder wannabe.

YMBAWI- your wife keeps asking what happened to her alo-vera plant. YMBAWI- the inside glass on your shop door is rusting due to weld/grind splatter YMBAWI-your wife asks you why her new coffee cup is bumpy and rusting YMBAWI- you first A+ in school was in welding shop (true story) YMBAWI- the guy who has a private air strip across the road knows when your welding.(HF in a tin bldg.-a no-no near a airport) YMBAWI-the flash from your welding trips the photo cell switch on the security light. YMBAWI- the inside of your wifes washing machine is rusted. YMBAWI- the guy at the red-wing boot store says you have gone thru three lifetimes worth of free replacement shoe-strings. YMBAWI- the elec. bill for your shop is higher than your all elec. house.

YMBAWI all of your socks have at least one very sharp little sliver in them from when you use a rotary file on steel.

dont sweat it metalmeltr always has an attitude...

[mattinglyt]

I didn't mean to be sarcastic. I was makin' a joke. Usually the wood burners are teasing the metal guys and vice-versa. Sorry if it came out wrong.

Now that's funny. It didn't come out wrong

Ok, call it a stiffy then

[captkipp]

Woody

....you pronounce YMBAWI like it's spelled (Yum-Bouwy).

....you graduated from "Put it in the scrap bin" to "Save it, put it on the shelf."

....you tack stuff up just shutting your eyes.

....you wonder why "woody" is used to describe one on a welder.

OK, I'll contribute a little, I'm a heavy duty diesel tech that's welds too (just to explain a bit, LOL).

YMBAWI..

...If something comes in the shop broken and the boss comes in asking "where's the genius"

...If you get a woody when something comes in broken

...If you've ever finished someones metal project because you watched them try to weld it and couldn't stand to let them finish, LOL

YMBAW if...........

YMBAW if every time you see a 220 volt outlet ANYWHERE, you wind up looking to see how many amps and then wonder if it will carry a welder!

Makes me think about how ****ed many styles of 220 plugs there are....gotta be a hundred!

[spark]

your german shepard dogs do a runner every time you get the arc welder out of the shed.
