Like the title says, I have over 17yrs in the trade, from running a shop, historical restoration, heavy industrial, commercial, nuclear, shutdown, custom metal work, rail road, metal art, residential hobbiest, and shipyard, tankee (boilermaker) experience. I didn't just stay in one division of the trade I moved around and got an extreme amount of knowledge most don't have. Being a female my journey was not easy but every crew I earned my respect and developed thick skin.. Most of my teaching on here is going to be the shit they don't and won't teach you in welding school. I will teach you how to get yourself out of f*cked up situations, the knowledge only old school cats know and won't show you unless they really like and see potential in you. I'm not a TIG welder so if that's what your looking for, sorry, I can weld as flawlessly with stick, mig, flux and I am just fine with that... If you have read this far and know anything about the trade knowing I worked as a tankee, shipyard and railroad as a female, that in itself is pretty kick a$$. So join me for knowledge that'll put you as a top welder. Are you a Mthr fking welder or a welding Mthr fker? If you don't understand that question, buckle up buttercup, let's get you turning and burning.. ALWAYS BE YOUR BROTHERS (AND SISTERS) KEEPER FIRST AND FOREMOST. WARNING: I CHILL AND WILL HELP YOU WITH ANYTHING, UNDERSTAND I CUSS, DEAL WITH IT, I DON'T PUT UP WITH DISRESPECT AND TREATING OTHERS POORLY, I GOT NO PROBLEM CLIPPING YOU OUT THE GROUP IF YOU ARE A NEGATIVE NANCY AND DISPLAY THE A$$HOLE QUALITIES THAT HINDER TEACHING AND LEARNING. WE GOT A DEAL? PUT YOUR BIG BOY (AND GIRL) BRITCHES ON N MAKE YOU A BADASS WELDER.....
