In this week’s episode, Beau chats with Austin Hargett about what led him to teach instead of fieldwork. He talks about some of the first jobs he had and what you have to get a foot in the door sometimes, taking a job at a school to focus on honing his pipe welding skills, things that he feels would improve the welders coming out of trade schools, and the new teaching opportunities through YouTube to show different parts of the vast welding industry.

In this week’s episode, Beau chats with EJ Naegeli a welder and fabricator who moved across the country to follow her dream of building custom racecars. She talks about getting inspired by working on her first project car to get more involved in the automotive industry, learning to weld by the guide of a teacher Brett Fenning who got her started in TIG welding aluminum and stainless steel, and what she thinks the welding industry could do to attract more people from the younger generations.

In this week’s episode, Beau chats with Austin Handel who started Maker Camp with the help of his friend Jimmy Diresta to give makers a weekend to come together and learn new skills in all kinds of disciplines such as blacksmithing, woodworking, leatherworking, power carving, and many more. This year Austin and I are going to be in the fabrication tent building a smoker with Chris Verde from Green Money Fab to demonstrate some stick welding. He talks about his inspiration for starting the camp, gives some history to his family’s business The Black Thorne Resort, and he tells us about some new activities to try out this year up in the Catskill Mountains.
