Hi im Adam. I have a love for anything welding. I never went to school all my experience has been on the job. I've only got a lil over 2 years experience. I love to learn an Im open to any ideas. I've worked as a field service tech. Working mostly in packing plants doing everything from fabrication to installation of augers, coveyors, catwalks, overhead meat rail/bleed rail, switches, pnuematics, hydraulics, pipe, stands, some structural steel, as well as turn key solutions and more. I own a miller maxstar 200DX but I've used miller syncrowave 250, Maxstar 15, and XMT. Anyways I love welding and anything to do with welding....Im pretty knowledgeable although i don't know everything and Im always open to new techniques an ideas. I've learned most everything from trial an error. I had a few nice guys teach me a few things but also know the frustration of the guys that don't want to teach u or help u with anything. Im sure I'll benefit from the forum and I hope just maybe I'll b able to help contribute.
sincerely
Adam
Welcome to the group. I am sure you will fit right in. This is a great place to learn and to teach. Everyone is very receptive of critiques and new techniques. Feel free to share your knowledge and have fun. 
It's always best to build your own, especially when it comes to hitches!!!
