I have worked about 34 years as a welder. I am a lead person now. Below is one of the larger salt spreading units we built. I have worked in the welding field since I was old enough to have a job. I've welded 1 1/2 steel down to 22 gauge frame work around glass(talk about frustrating!). Have worked making small parts, Cylynders for meat processing plants,up to dump body trucks and many things in between. When I went to work at my first job, I only got it because the government was making them hire women. I was the first woman in the plant. I knew nothing about welding.I NEVER dreamt I would still be welding 34 years later!
