Thanks for listening to this week's episode of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast! We're on a little vacation from recording but still wanted to put out an episode so we're going to be reposting a few from the past over the next few weeks. This week we're looking back at the conversation we had with Micheal Brandt from Garage Bound, LLC. Micheal has a crazy story and well worth a second listen! Thank you for all the support and have a great week everyone!
Hey Everyone!
This is just a little heads up to let you know that we are going to be taking a little vacation during the 2021 holiday season. During this time we are going to be spending some quality time with our families along with coming up with ways to improve the podcast for 2022! We hope everyone has a great holiday season and is able to also slow down a bit to be with their families, too.
Thank you for the last 5 years of support! We are looking forward to the next few weeks being off but also looking forward to what is to come with the podcast in 2022!
Thank you for listening to episode 264 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast! For this week's chat we're talking about safety. This topic got brought up because one of us had a little accident and we thought it would be a good time to remind everyone to slow down a bit to think. We hope this episode will do just thinking plus help you remember a few things that might have happened to you in the past. It is very easy to become too comfortable in this industry and something happens in a blink.
Thank you for listening to episode 263 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast! This week we had a very interesting conversation with Ray Hebert from MagSwitch all about welding around a magnetic field. We definatly learned a lot and know you will, too! Be sure to check out these tools over on their site Mag-Tools.com.
Thank you for listening to episode 262 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast! For this week's chat we're talking about keeping a welding journal or different types of notes. What do we think of this and do we do it ourselves? Hopefully, this episode will help you decide if you'd like to jot down things a little more. Have a great week and thank you for all the support!
Thank you for listening to episode 261 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast! For this week's chat we're talking about 5G tests over 6G tests. This chat started over a text between us three and we thought it would be a good idea to dive a little deeper into why companies might use different tests instead of just one that should cover almost all of it. Hope this one helps a bit! Have a great week!
Thank you for listening to episode 260 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast! For this week's chat we're talking about something that we all at some point have dealt with, back pain. Generally, it all started when we were younger and dumber thinking we could lift the world and slipped that one time... Now older, that one stupid mistake plagues you ever so often. We thought it would be a good time to talk about this to remind everyone to take a minute to slow down and think about what you're doing. Could you use a crane for this, get some help, a forklift? Hope this episode helps in some way!
Thank you for listening to episode 259 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast! This week's episode is all about staying productive and some of the things we have tried to help improve our productivity. If you're running your own business you know that you wear many hats and you also understand the more productive you can be the more money you can make on each job. Hope this episode can help! Have a great week!
Thank you for listening to this week's episode! We get asked all the time about different filler wire selection so we thought it would be a good time to do an episode! Hope this one helps you when something strange comes up! Have a great week everyone!

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.

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.

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!

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!
