you might be a weldor if.............

You tell you students in your welding night class it's not the machine it is the operator.

your 3 yr. old girl knows what junk is and comes out and grabs a helmet to watch you weld/cut.

and you use a miller locker in the rear axle of your pulling truck.

you would rather build your wife a grill guard for her vehicle instead of buying one.

Also when you go on your honeymoon to disney you critique the welds on the rollercoasters before you ride them..........long lines or is it the occupation????

[turboglenn]

You sit in the living room with a propane torch on the coffe table using it to make smores..

Not sure if anyone said that but i actually wanted smores bad last night and the easiest flame i had to bring inside was a small propane hand torch so i set it up and ate smores. I thought to myself when putting the toch back in the garage "This would make a good post for the 'You Might Be A Weldor' thread" hahahaa

You might be a weldor if the torch stays on the table.

[fun4now]

uMMMMMM smores, yum.
better go get the torch.

[metalmeltr]

You are sitting in social studdies and a question says "what is a dynasty?" and your fit thought is which model, but a general description is it is a inverter Tig machine made by Miller Electric.

The torch is still on the coffee table.... (hot dogs and toasted marshmallows last night).... but where in the he** did I leave the striker????

YMBAWI... Your plans for a long weekend are based on what welding supplies you have on hand because you did not get to the store before it closed

... You have one small drawer and two hangers set aside for storage of "non-welding" attire.

You might be a welder if you get splatter/grind dust in your coffee but you drink it anyway.

You might be a TIRED welder if you strike an arc with your helmet on grind mode. Doh!

I often will stress on a saturday if i don't think i have enough argon to make it through till monday...and that's even if i don't have any welding lined up for the weekend

I have about that exact amount of room for "nice clothes"

YMBAWI..... You take the sub-woofer out of your sport compact so there's more room for your dynasty and it's accessories.

[Nitro_Pirate]
