Dewitt, NY – December 22, 2009: It seems that things got really bad in a hurry for American business. Economists, though, point to December 2007 as the beginning of the current downturn, and here we are, 24 months later. Battle weary. Eager for it to end. Ready to move on. Wiser. Much wiser.
Those who grew up during the Cold War will remember watching television or listening to the radio when the program was interrupted by the words: “This is a test. This station is conducting a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.” A high-pitched siren would sound for a few seconds. Fortunately, we never heard the announcer come on and say, “This is not a test.”
As we come to the end of a year described as one of the worst economically since World War II, and the end of a decade full of challenges, it’s become clear that this has not been a test.
What has American business learned, and what lies ahead?

together we exist together we suffer and forever we will recreate each other…. i witnessed a very magical moment just now…. thank you.

That’s amazing! It always seem easier to draw on the computer then on paper. Really now, to color like that makes me curious, though everyone’s style of art is different.
it’s almost like a photo
great painting 
you use what is most comfortable you need to be able to see the puddle of molten metal to make sure you have good penetration and a decent looking bead I prefer a glass #10 and a glass cover plate how ever I'm thinking of buying a self darkening helmet as the price has come down to around $ 50 the auto darkening system has been on the market for about 15-20 years my brother bought one when they first came out and paid about $ 275 but the novelty wore off for him you can get a auto darkening from http://www.harbor freight.com Do not look at the light with out a welding lens as you will burn your eyes out!
My suggestion is that you take one of those 6 week welding courses at the local college.
You just don't start by reading a book.
Now i have an office job, but i have been a welder fitter for 20 years.
Make sure the first thing you buy is a fire extinguisher
awesome stuff man,….ama practice hard to get to yo level!
The fabrication of hull of large ships is normally done by panels assembled into blocks then the blocks are assembled into sections of the vessel and finally the sections are joined to form the hull.
First, panels consisting of plates and stiffeners are made. In the fabrication of the panels submerged arc welding is most suitable since most of the welding are made on flat surfaces and these can be done using automatic welding machines. Several of these machines can be run by a single operator
.For the assembly of the blocks however, most of the welding operations are done manually because automatic welding machines may no longer be suitable.
Manual arc welding is also used in the assembly of the blocks to form a section of the vessel and also for welding the sections of the hull together.
véiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, que difuu
get an arc welder that has at least 200 amps dc
a name brand such as lincoln miller etc
practice with the 6013
switch to 7018 for higher strength
mig welds are strong but brittle they will break without warning if overloaded
and yes i know a lot of shops use the mig on everything
but if they see what i see all of the time they wouldn,t
arc welds will usually start cracking before they fail
on the lighter metals you are talking about the mig would be ok or if you plan to do any aluminum welding
but if you want to go to heavier metal later the arc welder is better
most of my welding is done on 3/4 inch or thicker metal
i will use my mig if it is nonstructural
if you think what i say about a mig is not true try fillet welds on 1/4 inch plate then bend them
you may want to do a search on that (google). That may give u the help u need. Good luck!
dude, you own! this looks identical to a photograph
welding is a physically demanding job, regardless of the type, most of the time you are sitting or standing for long periods of time, but it is also a great trade to have, if your asking about strength, it depends on the job, if you are production welding then you do not need to be very strong, but if you are a welder-fitter you would need alot of strength, because you would be handling material by hand and it can get pretty heavy, basically its up to you to know what type of welding you want to get into, and if you feel that it would be right for you in a physical sense. hope that helps with your question, good luck.

You'll probably need a formal internship or apprenticeship. Especially in this economy, there's no shortage of experienced workers.
Do not use welding glass. It does not protect camera lens at all.
Go to a store and buy appropriate filter even a bigger one and attach it to your camera.
HOLY CRAP! Comparing this to the original picture, they’re identical!
You’re an amazing artist both painting and music wise. keep it up ^ ^
The WPS is the specific directions instructing the welder in how to execute the weld. It would specify method (mig, co2, stick, submerged arc, etc.), material for the base metal and the filler metal, directions of travel, position of the weld (horizontal, vertical, angular, etc), voltage, and similar variables.
Any WPS must be qualified to demonstrate that it produces the weld characteristics that are desired. It then becomes the recipe so to speak for each welder to follow.
A WPS is typically written by a person experienced in welding.
