I miss welding on tugboats. I was in a shipyard out in Channelview, tx last year and it was all nothing but gravy work welding and repairing those tugboats
@@texasweldingdreams636 that’s going to be fun. The last boat I repaired my fitter had to cut a 10x20 plate for the bottom that was rotted out. Had to weld from the inside and gouge the bottom to throw the bead in
For sure. Spent 17!years almost in a structural shop then switched jobs to learn more. I’ve learned so much. Rig welder have to know a lot. Can’t just go out and weld and that’s it. Gotta have a lot of knowledge. Be able to weld all sorts of stuff in tough place as well as the nightmare jobs nobody else wants to do.
I’ve used them all. They all have things I like better the others but when it comes down to it I like the reliability and cost effectiveness for a Lincoln rheostat Welder.
Spartan 329 I personally like air gas welding supply store. But you can get them a little cheaper on Amazon. Amazon has all the design options miller offers.
What would you say the best advantage of your classic sae 300 is? I also have a 2019 Lincoln but mine is a sae 300 mp. Idk maybe it’s me but I don’t see the special thing about it. It doesn’t even have a polarity switch sometimes it makes me wish I would’ve gone with a pipe pro. Lol
Gio Giovanni I have just liked the way they welded when I used them when I was a single hand welder. I prefer the gears over the Continuous current of the SAE 300. And it’s nice to have the option to hook up a suitcase welder directly to the machine. It would be nice to have a polarity switch like the pipe pro but it doesn’t really bother me not having it it would just be more convenient. How does that continuous current on the SAE 300 work? I’ve never messed with one before?
Texas welding Dreams well for me it’s been pretty good. It’s nice to be able to fine tune that puddle. Honestly I’m still learning this machine like many other things. But that has always been one of my biggest questions is to what the big differences were... I’ve even been told “ nice red face” and I’m just like.. ehhh I’m not really sure it’s a red face since it’s not a 200 but Idk lol.

It’s nice to just burn rod all day. Lots of practice.
Love the turbo on the front of the truck
Thanks man that my little convention starter
Very informative.
Sweet! Cool to see all of that.
Payden McVey more to come. Note sure if I’ll do one every day or every other day yet.
This is awesome 🤙🏻
Amazing job ,thank you
Whoever your helper is, you need to teach him how to stick weld 😂
Very cool. I could burn rods all day like that!
New sub brother. I’m just a shop welder but I am passionate about welding!!!
That’s where I started bro and slowly made my way up. I’m no where close to where I want to be. We will all get there one day if we keep striving!

Yes sir companies expect a heck of a lot more out of a rig welder. I personally love the challenge and higher expectation.
When you were talking miller I was all pfffffft, then you redeemed yourself talking about your Lincoln.

Nice
