Hi everyone!
I have been following the welding tips and tricks forum for a couple of years now. I recently ordered a welder/cutter and decided it was time to join up.
I had some welding instruction in grade 8 in my industrial arts class. That was the only time I have done welding with an acetylene torch, though I have used acetylene cutting torches since.
As a young man my dad taught me to use an arc welder (properly called an SMAW or stick welder). I built a tubular front bumper for my truck and new shock brackets to fit longer shocks.
Since then I obtained a 3rd Class Power Engineering diploma from SAIT (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology) and wrote the exams for the government license. I still keep up my 3rd Class inter-provincial license. I worked in building maintenance and boiler operations for around 12 years.
In 1996 I completed some computer training (Certified Novell Engineer) and started working full time in the computer industry.
There are several projects around the house that have been waiting for me to get my new welder. I expect this will mostly just be a hobby for me.
Take Care,
Robert Taylor
P.S. I started a Google group called Multiplaz 3500. I was unable to find a specific place to get online support for this welder so I decided to try starting one.
