Actually did some today gonna cut apart Monday and etch them did one the other day on an overhead turned out nice been job searching in the PA area as well and been studying up on my print skills

awesome glad its going good for you

Damn I just learned something didn't realize they would test you to see if your past a first year if you have "dead end experience " learn something new everyday I'm headed out to pa in two months to scout things out going to apply for apprenticeship in iron workers union

here's my over head I cut and etched one side looks decent other side angle was off
Adding second pic didn't turn out as good kinda rushed through the polishing to get it done not near as defined

Here is my first attempt showing the technique in video one of my overhead stringers

looks fun!

gotcha that's one area i am working on is my print reading i can read a basic weld print but anything kinda complicated and i just frigggin get overwhelmed jonathan

It does look cool like you said good idea on this thread
