Thank you for listening to this week's Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast!  Due to travel schedules and work schedules we were not able to record a new episode this past week, so we are reposting a past episode to still help kick off your week.  We're going back to episode 13 with Mike Zanconato the bike builder!  Enjoy!  

Thank you for listening to episode 257 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast!  This week we're talking about when you take on a job that is a little out of your scope.  That could be a side hustle job or a different type of task at your day job.  We all encounter this from time to time so thought it would be something good to talk about.  Have a great week everyone! 

Thank you for listening to episode 256 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast!  For this week's chat we continue the conversation about getting your first job after school or passing your first weld test.  At this point in your career you're in a bit of a limbo stage where you can weld but not sure how to fabricate.  We've all been there and this is a little about our stories and also our thoughts.  Hope you can pick up a few nuggets from this one or will send you down memory lane.  Have a great week everyone!  

Thank you for listening to episode 255 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast!  This week we're talking about Goal Setting and is it really that important?  We're honestly all over the board with this and we all try different things to keep us moving in the right direction.  We hope this chat might help you figure out your future goals!  Have a great week everyone! 

Thank you for listening to episode 254 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast!  For this week's chat we're answering a question that we saw on the WelderSkills.com Forum.  That being what controls the size of the puddle while welding aluminum with Tig.  There are a lot of different things that can affect the puddle and its size so we just let this conversation roll where it wanted.  Hope everyone has a great week!  

Thank you for listening to episode 253 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast!  For this week's episode we had a great chat with @Steel_Gun_Fab aka Brad McKee.  Brad's story is very interesting and he delivered some serious knowledge bombs if you're looking at starting a business.  You're going to want to get your paper and pencils out for this one!  Have a great week everyone!  

Thank you for listening to episode 252 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast!  This week's chat is about the disconnect between Schools and Industry.  We know this is a touchy subject and can be very controversial at times.  Just remember we all want the best for this industry and we understand that schools are limited to many variables.  This is just the beginning of the conversation and we're looking forward to having more in the future.  This topic hits home to us all.     

Thank you for listening to episode 251 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast!  For this week's chat we're talking about reading prints.  Being able to lay a good solid weld is only a fraction of the battle.  Being able to build the job to what the designer or engineer intended is the whole point!  The print is a key factor in transmitting this information and being able to decipher what is needed is a very important skill that you need to learn!  

Thank you for listening to episode 250 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast!  For this week's chat we thought it would be a good time to have a look back at this first half of 2021.  We hope your year has been going great and looking forward to seeing what the rest of this year has to offer up!  Have a great week everyone!  

Thank you for listening to episode 249 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast!  If you follow any of the three of us on Instagram you've seen us talking about WelderSkills.com.  We thought it would be a good time to explain a little more of what it is and what the hopes are for it to become.  Hope this answers a few questions!  Have a great week!  

Thank you for listening to episode 248 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast!  For this week's chat we had a fun talk with @Keypointfabrication aka Ron Sackowitz.  Ron has an interesting past and has done a lot over the years.  We hope this episode lets you in on opportunities come when you're uncomfortable!  You just never know where they might lead you.  Have a great week!  

Thank you for listening to episode 247 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast!  For this week's episode we answer a question we received from one of our Patrons.  This question gets a little on the real side of the industry, that being how do you deal with disappointment?  We thought this was a good question to talk about because it is a topic that doesn't get talked about often.  Mostly we see all the good but we don't see much of the rougher saids.  We hope that some of you needed to hear what we had to say and it might help.  Have a great week!  

Thank you for listening to episode 246 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast!  For this week's guest we had a fun conversation with @JTwonable, aka Jody O Neill.  Jody has a very interesting story and a few twists that might surprise you, too.  If you're not following Jody, please stop now and go follow, you will not be disappointed!  We hope you enjoy this week's chat with Jody and have a great week!  

Thank you for listening to episode 245 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast!  For this week's chat we reached out to our Patreon members and asked them for some topic questions.  They came through with a good amount of them so we picked one and ran with it.  The question being, after you've spent the first $5K on your business what would you buy for the next major purchases?  We hope this episode gives you a little idea of what we think and maybe what you should look into for your home shop or growing company!  

Thank you for listening to episode 244 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast!  For this week's guest we had a great conversation with @Petty_Welding aka Drew Petty.  Drew has an interesting background in the welding field which we dove rather deep into, pun intended, ha ha.  Hope you all have a great week and Enjoy this week's chat with Drew Petty!
