HI and Thanks for listening to episode 16 of the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast! We have had a very common theme with all the guests we've had on so far. Everyone has all said paying attention to all the small details is one of their main reasons for being a successful weldor. Rush Kane had said 95% is the prep and %5 is the welding. When you see his work you know he can't be wrong. We wanted to really dive into this theory and explain how we Sweat the Details on our jobs and with our welding. This mindset can be very important and really step your game up to the next level in welding. Sometimes it can be as simple as stepping back and thinking about what to do before doing it. So download this episode, hit play, drop your hood, and Enjoy! Like what you hear? Would you like to help support the Welding Tips & Tricks Podcast? We now have a page over on Patreon.
