Thanks otto! Im super excited to go down a new path in my career and Im glad that it passes what ever they were wanting. Give me a little practice and a tig finger and I'll show you a decent weld! Looking forward to posting some better looking welds!

Thank you all for the awesome feedback!! The HR lady told me I made the cut and I should be starting in october! Im once again thanks for the positive support! I'll be sure to post improvments!

I'll have to give that a try

TamJeff, I am Ruskin and I will take you up on that offer!

This would be just for garage practice nothing for a test or anything like that.

whats the best ways to bevel aluminum plate?

Thanks Otto Nobedder You are defiantly right Jody makes it look super easy! I feel pretty confident that the company will hire me on. Like I said before they send every welder through a three week long class for aluminum for the company before they start working at the shop. I will have my tig finge...

Thank you very much TamJeff! From what I gathered that is what they were looking for. I'm sure if guys came it and just blazed it and did it perfect they would be first in line but it seems like they just want guys that can be trained and have experience with TIG. Like I said before who ever gets hi...

Alexa, You are very correct but this is the catch.... It was a welding raw ability test. Most of the guys that were coming in didn't have any experience with aluminum mainly carbon and stainless. The company reps even let people do "2nd Chance" where if you couldn't complete the vertical y...

So today I had a welding assessment for a company I interviewed for. I would like some feedback on this. It was a 3G open root with 1/2 6061 aluminum using 4043 filler. It was 13 stringers total. Please keep in mind I have no aluminum experience and I mean NO experience and I winged this with the he...

I would like to thank all of you that gave input for my question. Welding assessment went pretty damn good for never doing aluminum. Ended up being 1/2 inch open root 3G with backing strap with stringers all the way out. Could have looked better but got it done. Jody's videos really helped and this ...

man i wish all my shit is back home in el paso.... I was scrambling this morning getting a hood, boots, shirt, ect ect... like I said I came down here to visit my folks and put a couple applications in just for shits and giggles hoping one day I could move back and BAM they called me the next day se...

I love Jody's videos and I watch them all the time. You hit the nail on the head... all I have been doing is watching his videos and taking notes. I'm not sweating it to much seems like it shouldn't be super hard plus from what the lady told me its just an assessment so I think from what I've watche...

That is a good idea that I didn't consider. I will defiantly look into that!

that was a good video I've watched tons of his videos. I've jotted down a couple different settings and hope to get a couple practice runs before I take the test. Hope it all works out!

nothing on the level of saying yeah. I've messed around with it stacking dimes and sorts but never welded anything at work or any job site. I have a pretty good idea of the process and how to do it just don't have much time under the hood doing it. The odd thing is with this company is they send you...

I have a welding assessment on Tuesday for a company that builds heat ex changers here in Florida. I do not have much aluminum welding experience but I am a strong carbon welder. The test is 3G with TIG, t-joint with MIG, and possibly a aluminum pipe test. I have done all these with carbon and I am ...
