Started with Minneapolis Brown Tank..mig..stick..I just bugged the hell out of everyone to either let me try what they were doing or just let me watch. Got my card as a Boilermaker Mechanic and thought I knew everything there was to know..Then I went out on a job with Chicago Bridge and Iron..75'..
Those ole boys not only know how to weld but how to weld lots of footage..Back then, working tanks, the bottom ring..not quite 1"..dbble beveled was an 8 hour job, on the piecework book..Which means that you welded up the whole thing in 8 hours just to be kept around on the job...if you did it in 8 hours but the xrays showed bad and it took you 2 hours to fix...They might send you home..or just make you a tacker..
Bottom line,,the best way is to take it slow and easy..develop yourself..and take advice from the pros...
