Arc Junkies

367. The Pursuit of "Why" w/ Tim Lucas


Listen Later

This week on Arc Junkies, Jason is joined by Tim Lucas — Marine Corps veteran, CWI, metal artist, and AWS Section leader. Tim shares his journey from chasing motorcycles and metal shaping to working in aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and high-end fabrication. They dive into the importance of understanding the "why" behind welding, how standard operating procedures can make or break a growing shop, and the critical role AWS sections play in building the next generation of welders. They also break down the realities of the ProCodes Act, writing WPSs, and the future of welding education. Whether you're just getting started or leveling up your career, this episode is packed with practical advice, real talk, and a few laughs along the way.
