In this month's episode of Weld Wednesday w/ AWS I am talking with Daryl Peterson about the several changes in the D1.1 2020 edition of the Structural Steel Code. If you are a current CWI this is a great overview of the changes that have taken place. If you are planning on taking the CWI Exam soon, this is a great episode to hear about what things you may want to consider to help you prepare for the exam.

In this episode I am talking to Matt Adams the owner and operator of RedSoul based out of Seattle Washington. RedSoul's metal art pieces have been on display in stores and restaurants such as Nordstrom's and Starbucks. We talk about his journey into welding and the pieces he currently builds. Matt is truly an artist in every sense of the word and it shows in the pieces he produces. Artistic metalwork is just one more path that welding can lead you down. The possibilities in this trade are endless and today's episode allows us to explore yet another journey.

Today's episode, at least in my opinion, is freaking awesome. Today's guest is Bill Komlos, Bill is an English major, turned welder, turned welding engineer and now develops some of the crazies welding procedures, for some of the coolest projects out there. Bill has an amazing story, he's worked on all kinds of military projects, C B and I, Aerospace and most recently created a welding procedure to weld a man-made metal that had been installed on the Mars rover Perseverance that will be landing on Mars, this Thursday to collect all kinds of data about the planet. It's been traveling to mars for the past 6 months and a half months and has traveled over 300 million miles along its journey. Bill is just a fountain of knowledge and I am sure you are going to enjoy his story.

I met all of today's guests at an AWS hosted event and since that time, the contacts, friends and acquaintances we have met, have allowed us to take our careers to the next level.
