We got an email asking how they can maximize the time they're in welding school and what to expect for an upcoming weld test when they go to get a job.  There was a few more items to the email that we touched on.  It was fun to look back to where we came from and how we look at things differently today.  If you were to go back to school tomorrow would you run the padded bead plate differently then you did while you were there?

Andrew Cardin, @thebostonweldah, has been hanging out with Jody for the past week or so working on some weld procedures, so we thought it would be a good time to chat about what they have been up to.  Ever welded pipe vertical with 7016 rod?  If you're in the gas pipe world you'll want to take some good notes this might be something coming down the line in your future.  Enjoy!   Thank you to our Sponsor for this episode BugO Systems!  www.bugo.com
