Smile son in welding school

My boy has been in welding school for 4 months now and thought i would post some pics of his test pieces. the flat ones are ready for the bend test and are tig root with 7018 fill polished and ready to bend.
so far he has only had to redo 1 test. the horizontal pipe is stainless. the vertical pipe is tig.

Great looking welds!!

I had welding school in the Navy from March until September.

They X-rayed our weld plates, 3/4" thick.

We used 6011 root pass, then 7018, 8018, and then 11018.

Overhead was easier than vertical.

NO, I ain't tellin' the year!! Somebody might figure out my age!!

We also did a lot of brazing, silver soldering, and TIG, just a little MIG.

That's great. I love to see young people getting to learn some useful trades. There is a demand for good welders. I hope he likes it and stays with it.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
