I've never had any formal training in welding but I'm pretty sure I could weld circles around Foxey
Tell you what, Joey- here's two challenges for you- we'll run the ASTME guided bend coupons on 3/8 mild steel with 7018-- 45% included angle and 3/8 backing plate to AWS code- I've got 3 C notes that says mine will pass first time on both root and face bends, and yours will be-- well, Boat Anchors- after I've whipped you on my "home turf" SMAW out-of-position welding-- we'll move on to the next challenge- wing shooting- We'll set up in a dove field when the season is on- each with a double shotgun of our own choice and gauge- and each with one box of 25 factory new shells of our choosing- with neutral referees- the man who takes a limit with the fewest shells out of that box of 25 is the winner of the Jackpot-- no decoys, baited fields or shooting over watering holes or stock tanks- and in a Southern State that ain't yours- for neutral ground- again, I've got some C notes I'll be glad to wager- how about you??
