Preparation is easily 95% of a good weld. I try and try to explain that to my young gun welders and they just won’t listen, they are in such a hurry to get to next fixture. Good welders have learned how to prep the weld. Welding it is the easy part!

I prepared one Friday night before my apprenticeship welding class Saturday morning 70 miles away. Got pretty tuned up with the homeboys :lol:. Drive to San Berdoo at 6am next morning. Get to class hands shaking like a poodle pooping peach seeds :rolleyes:. I had been having trouble stick welding vertical, that Saturday one tap of the hammer slag falls off, stack of dimes underneath. Instructor comes in to check on me " I don't know what you're doing different, but keep it up. Looks great!" :lol:
