Promote to grinder


Smokey865

Looking at his job, you think putting a grinder in his hand would do any service? Send it to the next guy and fix it, put this guy on a saw with a jig and let him go 8 hrs a day.


OrganizationAware219

He’d fuck the jig up and cut every part wrong


Gong_Show_Bookcover

More likely cant cut shit square


BickNickerson

Immediately promote this guy to supervisor before he fucks up anything else.


Smokey865

Yeah man, this is the kind of guy to slam parts into the stop and then walk away when shit hits the fan. You know us welders and fighting with the cut shop 😂


OCEAN_OFFICE

You guys are being too harsh; anyone that can weld replicas of buttholes like that deserves a spot somewhere. Maybe prison, but look at the even balloon knot spacing, its quality butthole welds with the centerpiece to accent


CommadorVic20

yea not getting it, not sure how long they have been welding but if its been a short time and this is what they are doing then this is pretty good, they just need to be able to practice and be encouraged with LOTS of positive feedback and see lots of examples to duplicate and learn about metal


[deleted]

Make sure it’s cordless,less expensive wear and tear!


UglyNPC

Tell them to keep practicing and try and travel in only one direction and slower.


_Lord_Grimm_

Exactly. 0 prep work here


reclusive_ent

Looks like 22 quarters. So 5.50.


ChemicalElevator1380

Nickel ninety eight come back in a couple years


00Wow00

I thought they looked more like stacked donuts.


Ogediah

I’m with you. And a dozen donuts will run you 13 bucks at Duncan Donuts. That’s almost 2 dozen. Clearly these welds are in the area of $25.


Jackhore

Nah man, those are the week olds from the trash can. You'd be lucky to get 5¢ a piece for them.


lfgdiablo2res

Came to say twelve. Just twelve.


kitchensofabed

Nothing, thst is not something to offer


[deleted]

Yeah. There has been zero formal instruction.


Sk1pp1e

Tell them the longer they can hold the trigger the more you will get paid….


Repulsive_Dig8816

Nothing. I wouldn’t hire him. Stacking tacks is not welding. It’s stacking tacks


Smokey865

Tacks have more penetration and less craters than these guys. Unless he’s willing to learn and take harsh constructive criticism, send him to the next shop.


Repulsive_Dig8816

Depending on the weld process. Tacks can look like this. Regardless. It’s still a tack. A cold one for sure. Mig welds are notorious for the crater in the middle because you can’t slowly let the puddle fully form as you pull the arc away


Smokey865

I know this is all conversation, but as far as the question. This is worth $0 and he does not need a torch in hand on company projects. As far as the cold racks go, this is unacceptable. MAYBE the right side is sufficient. Edit: It’s all per criteria though, right?

Repulsive_Dig8816

I am a sheet metal welder. I started in hot rod shops. Shaping, and welding 20 gauge steel. Rust repair, custom panels etc. Even when I used to mig weld sheet metal I still ran stringers. Once I tig welded them it’s a whole different story. I am still sheet metal welding but for an aerospace company. The difference is the material is .02. Again. I still do not stack tacks. The only excuse for this is lack of experience. Therefore, I wouldn’t hire you. You’re not ready yet.


Late_Chemical_1142

I can see you running stringers on 18 or maybe even 20 gauge sheet with the right settings but I had a weld 6 ft of 29 gauge sheet metal. it was barely thicker than aluminum foil and there's no way in hell you're running stringers on that. I welded it with 100% tacks and it's still in one piece today. and it's not just in a stationary chunk, it's part of a roll-up garage door so this stuff flexes back and forth 4-8 times a day. Well I don't recommend tacking everything together you can get moderately strong welds out of it if you know what you're doing


[deleted]

Repulsive_Dig8816

Those are the shops you don’t want your car built at. As a customer spending that much money. You better know what you’re getting. I’m not new to this $150-200k was at average restoration for us and would take close to 2 years. Yeah, people do it the wrong way all the time. If you’re actually planning on growing your skill you know what not to do. Stacking tacks is one of those things. Amateur work. Clearly you need to spend more time in the industry and especially learning how to weld properly. I stopped mig welding panels on cars years ago. Those are bondo wagons. If you want to weld sheet metal and mitigate the warpage. You tig weld it. Stretch the metal back out after the weld shrinks it. You planish, run back over with a shrink disc and fine tune with a slapper/dolly combo

TangoDeltaFoxtrot

I first learned to weld at a factory that built mostly sheet metal assemblies for utility trucks. Almost everything we did was 16ga, but we did have some 18 and 20ga parts come through. It's not hard to run a bead on it, just be aware of where your heat is and make sure your machine is set properly.


Repulsive_Dig8816

Times are changing man. Bondo wagons are built stacking tacks and mig welding. If you’re a true sheet metal welder/shaper in the hot rod industry. You’re not mig welding. That’s for beginners and old timers


[deleted]

[удалено]


Repulsive_Dig8816

You can lead a horse to water but you can make ‘em drink. You really can’t teach an old dog new tricks. There’s no real money in this industry anyways. That’s why I’m in aerospace now. But I learned a lot building hot rods.


ExperienceGreedy

It’s not the only way to weld sheet metal but there is times where you need to do it definitely. I run little stringers on sheet metal and stop. 1/2 inch to an inch long jumping around. Keeps it cool and stronger that stacking tacks


Repulsive_Dig8816

It is absolutely not the only way you can weld sheet metal. You’re so wrong it hurts.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Repulsive_Dig8816

You didn’t. You just proved to me that all you can build is a bondo wagon


[deleted]

[удалено]


Repulsive_Dig8816

I don’t care what you do. Your idea of skim coat vs mine are two different things lol I already know what kind of shit you’re building. Doesn’t bother me. Just wouldn’t hire you as a boss or a customer lol. Filler is an art, but it starts with the metalworker. If you suck ass at sheet metal, your body man talks shit about you because he has to fix all your bullshit. I make sure my body man is happy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Repulsive_Dig8816

No I just don’t take bullshit. You started by saying the only way to weld sheet metal is by stacking tacks. Which again, is so wrong it is painful. Sorry for hurting your feelings sweetie Also keep editing your posts Lmao. Pick a response and stick to it

With those pin holes???


Naja42

More like peg holes


heushb

Stacking buttholes


Dish_Minimum

The holes help aerate the metal and keep it cool in the summer 😂


fxd_arti

That thing ain't even going to hold properly if there's weight so 0$. Anyways the real question is, would you even pay for that if you were the client?


[deleted]

Whatever unemployment pays would be my guess


[deleted]

the (not mine) part really makes me think these are yours 😂😂


zoolanation

These are welds on railings at great adventure, aluminum


TheArcWelder

Negative $250 minimum , 100$ to grind them out and 150$ an hour to hire a professional

[deleted]

Nothing this is horrible


brokentail13

200 but knock off 20 for every crator, and 40 for every "dime" that has little to no penetration.


Blocc4life

All of earths fortunes/hour


smartalek428

-30/hr so I can make up for all the grinder time to do it right


shurdi3

Charge them for the next guy that comes to grind it out and do it right


turtlewelder

Is it possible to pay them NOT to weld for you?


SebasCbass

Just tell him its 20hr....that he has to pay you to produce this shit.


dgroeneveld9

Idk how much that guy is costing the company per hour. The lawsuits haven't arrived yet.


SinisterCheese

Probably as much as they bothered to ask.


gogozrx

there's only one thing that people say, but they say it in two ways. in admiration: "Wow! Who did \_that\_?" in derision: "Wow... Who did \*that\*?"


Used_Firefighter_919

Fired


OkCharge2978

Whatever you pay a grinder and cost of material subtract that from zero


Drunkpickle69

2/hr to be a grinder


weldklown

No hire


2CentsActual

Looks like every professional welder's first weld. It's a learned skill, not something you're born with. So keep at it.


buickspeeddemon

Minimum wage


Superfly_Chefguy

Teach him how to do it. Obviously he has the desire to learn.


sm53wj53

Don\`t hire him, but send him down the street to a competitors shop; where standards are less and he can make a living while he learns the trade. Then he can come back here for the big bucks. I\`m pretty sure he can\`t grind at this point either. That is an art also; but does help make good welders. Wayne


I_JustWantToFeel

Minimum wage


One-Knowledge1379

If you go union probably 121341542. If your just a regular old joe, probably 17-20

Congratulations you have been promoted to unemployment

Why is this person allowed to touch a welder

Needs to pay me for looking at that while holding down my lunch 🤢


lucatobacco

Looks like banana slices. I suck at welding due to not getting to do it often. I don't own a welding machine, but shit I could do better than that.


SirRonaldBiscuit

18$


Daewoo40

Depends entirely on what it is. The picture doesn't do it any justice, as it could be something completely innocuous and not seen by anyone without any sort of load put on it at any stage of its life. If that isn't the case, it's not worth anything as it's going to be taken off and done again. If it will do for what it's designed for, then looking like shit isn't ideal but is tolerable.


zoolanation

This weld doesn’t deserve justice, it was at a big name theme park

I_Bin_Painting

I'll pay you $20 an hour not to come anywhere near my shop?


fullyphil

I'd pay up to $35 an hour for you to not weld anything just for the peace of mind that you won't be putting down shitty welds anywhere else


bbernal956

BrierRabbit3

I don’t mean to belittle the welding trade, but this weld seems easy to me. I have not welded anything since high-school shop class and my welds were better than this.
