Hi and Thanks for listening to episode 10 of the the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast.  We wanted to talk about what people call Cheats.  Whenever we post pictures with a turntable or a larger cup someone always has something to say about it, so we just wanted to bring it out into the open and hear our take on these things.  We hope you enjoy this podcast and learn a thing or two about some things that you might not have known about.  So Download, put those earbuds in, drop your hood, and enjoy!
