First week

Mostly just about Health and Safety and more Health and Safety.
Welding is very dangerous unless you follow the proper H&S rules so its important to take it all in. Some people think its more important than others though and theres already been some people being cavalier with their eye protection.
Then we started on a little bit of the theory side of welding, which I find really interesting and am very keen to learn. Unfortunetly there are others who just want to do the practical work and moan the whole lesson about wanting to leave early.
On the practical side of things everyone seems to be at the same level with MMA now. First assignment is a pad weld which is doing lots of lines overlapping each other building it up. I think mine is going well but I noticed my piece of mild steel has more distortion than the other students. Right now I'm not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing with such a large area being welded. I think its a bad thing, Ive possibly not turned down my amps as much as the others, will find out next week.

Never Give Up.
