Hi and thanks for listening to the Welding Tips and Tricks Podcast. This is episode 2 and the topic is Weld Tests. We thought that since you generally start a welding job with a weld test we'd have our first topic on this podcast be just that. We discuss welding tests we've given and tests we've taken. We hope that for the experienced weldors you can relate to our stories, and for the new guys you get a better feel for what's to come at your first test. Below you will find the times for this podcast and other information. Thanks again and enjoy!

"Want to shrink your 17/26 torch down to a manageable size and still maintain great gas coverage? I highly recommend a Stubby Gas Lens Kit from weldmonger.com. Before I was using the giant gas lens' and while that is fine for some projects I was running into projects where the standard set up was not fitting inside a part of was just cumbersome to use. The Stubby Gas Lens Kit shrinks the 17/26 torch down to a usable size. These are also a gas lens so you will get better coverage over a standard cup." -Jonathan Lewis You can find Tig fingers and other great welding supplies, like stubby gas lens kits, here at this link http://weldmongerstore.com/

You can find Tig fingers and other great welding supplies, like stubby gas lens kits, here at this link http://weldmongerstore.com/ If you do not have a Tig Finger in your box you don't know what you're missing. This is a tool that I use almost daily while welding. Gives me something to prop on every time and not worry about burning up my finger or glove. A key point of welding is being comfortable. When your finger is burning up it's really hard to stay steady and smooth, trust me I know. Having a Tig Finger on allows me to stay comfortable and also slides along nicely giving me that extra edge to keep my welds consistent. I will always have a Tig Finger an arms reach away while working. -Roy Crumrine This Podcast has been brought to you by Weldor's for Weldor's so that you can listen to Welding talk while you're Welding!
