Hi and thank you for listening to episode 23 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast.  For this episode we had a fun chat with John Saunders from NYC CNC on youtube and @saundersmachineworks on Instagram.  We chatted about Fusion 360 and CNC machining along with much more!  If you've been wanting to branch out from just welding this podcast is for you.  John's story is very inspirational and eye opening, so download, pop those earbuds in, hit play, drop that hood, and enjoy!

Thank you for listening to episode 22 of the Welding Tips & Tricks Podcast. Today we would like to take a look back at 2016 and see what each of us accomplished, wished we could have done and unexpected things that came up. We also look into 2017 and share our goals for next year like what do we want to accomplish business wise, what equipment would we like to add to our shop, what would we like to learn new and maybe finish up goals from 2016. We also dive into becoming better people, Fathers, Husbands and friends. This is the basis of what drives us to succeed in business and the three of us feel it is important to remind ourselves, and the listeners, what is really important and drives us forward. We would really like to hear each listeners review of 2016 and your goals for 2017. The interaction between us and the listeners is what we are looking for and listening to your story really helps push us forward. Please take a few minutes to send us a email, weldingtipsandtrickspodcast@gmail.com, or send any one of us a DM on Instagram.

Hi and Thanks for listening to episode 12 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast.  We wanted to talk about something we feel is very important within our trade that being safety.  If you've been in the trade for any amount of time we're sure you've sat through a few boring made up safety videos.  Sometime they can be very eye opening but most of the time they're just silly, to be kind.  In this episode we talk about our experiences with safety from things that have happen to us personally or has been close by.  We can work in a very dangerous environment when we're not paying attention, so we ask if you are listening to this at work please be careful and mindful of your surroundings.  So download, pop the earbuds in (maybe just one), drop your hood, and enjoy!

Hi and thanks for listening to episode 4 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast.  This episode we wanted to touch base about what are some good tools to have on hand when you start a job.  We thought it would be a good continuation from the last topic pertaining to weld tests and landing your job.   Hopefully, this will help any of you new guys answer the question of where do I start with what tools to have on hand or starting a good toolbox for the different job fields we've personally experienced.  Thanks again for listening and enjoy the show!

Need a Tig Finger?

The Tig Finger works awesome. It allows you to rest your hand on your hot work piece while you are welding to keep more consistent movement. I usually use it on my torch hand so I can slide it across the work keeping the arc focused where I want it. Very well made.

Hi and thanks for listening to the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast.  This is episode 2 and the topic is Weld Tests.  We thought that since you generally start a welding job with a weld test we'd have our first topic on this podcast be just that.  We discuss welding tests we've given and tests we've taken.  We hope that for the experienced weldors you can relate to our stories, and for the new guys you get a better feel for what's to come at your first test.  Below you will find the times for this podcast and other information.  Thanks again and enjoy!
