Hi and Thanks for listening to the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast.  For episode 5 we were going to be interviewing Joel Bushmann, but he had a few rush things come up and couldn't make it.  Which was completely fine and we understand that jobs come first!  We reached out to Isaac Carrion, ICWeld on Instagram, last minute and he was happy to join in.  This interview was a lot of fun to record and we hope that you enjoy it just as much, so download, put in those earbuds, and drop your hood!

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!
