[Devil_Dog]

[Devil_Dog]

Complete BS

That is some bull SH!T... You know **** well that if Americans went to Italy and was gonna build a bridge there would be 9 kinds of **** raised. You know the same **** thing is happenin right here in the south east.. Illegal mexicans are going to these contract companies...

[Devil_Dog]

You know man I have been told that several times. In more or less words. I love to weld. and hard work is in my blood. The Marine Corps drilled that into me from the start. So Working hard is second nature to me. Thanks guys for the support...

I can never get enough metal on the backside. Now...

[Devil_Dog]

Yea im workin on that undercut.. I know it looks like **** lol but it will come in time....

[Devil_Dog]

how much was it?? hahaha...

[Devil_Dog]

Yea i Do pick his brain! 99% of our conversations are about welding. So you use a 1/8th rod and not a 3/32 to run your root??...

[Devil_Dog]

Meltalmeltr seems to be a bit of a hater?

[Devil_Dog]

Well im not a welder yet. Im currently attending school for it! But My father has been a welder his whole life. From what he told me you need to go to some contract companies in the area and ask if they are hiring welders. If you can weld and can pass the test they will hire you. You dont have to be...
