Need Any Welding advice?

Well ****; remind me never to ask dumbass questions here. I sure as hell don't ever want to learn to weld now with a...hole instructors like you out there.

I'm the a-hole?? Hahaha!

I just think it was a better method than MiG welding sheet metal.

Unlike aviation welding, the school was mostly geared in structural welding with a short stint mig welding.

In this hobby I see myself using tig for rollcages or aluminum (intake manifolds or cylinder heads) and enjoyed the penetration that stick welding gave in my limited experience (11 months).

I guess it can be viewed asking questions after being offered is being a dick?

Personally if I offered my expertise I wouldn’t **** on somebody for earnestly asking. The idea is an expert is offering help-use their generosity or spend a week sifting through YouTube where I personally find a ideas/beliefs often touted as facts.

It is no big deal if you don’t know some of those questions-I doubted that you had torch experience or much mig experience if you worked in the aviation field (which I figure is like my submarine welding-precision), but maybe it was possible that you did.

If you are offended, Probably don’t offer next time. Not everyone tip toes around others’ feelings. I apologize for being a dick.

Sorry, I sensed a bit of "ok, let's see what he really knows" from your 1st post....and I was in rare form yesterday. So, I apologize for the dick, and old fart comment. The point is, there is a ton of information out there for free, and I assumed that most people would come to FABO for more hard to find answers to their questions. I guess I failed to realize that FABO is the only form of internet some people know.

I have gotten a lot of great information off of this website for years. Now I'm just looking to contribute something in return.
