You're a welder in training??? That's so cool!! Care to share some of the stuff you do? It always looked so friggn hard and magical

Omg... replying 3 yrs later sorry!!! 🙈🙈🙈

But it's pretty cool, and straightforward. In my program we go over all of the basic types of welding (stick, GMAW/mig, GTAW/tig, flux-cored and metal-cored) along with a few really specialized ones we get to play with (robotic, mechanized, mounted on a tractor) and I'm taking a specialized course on metallurgy that looks into the components and alloys that are added to metals to see what effect each of them has on metals. That, along with temperatures and stresses and stuff :p and we go into inspection methods for welding, it's a lot.

Writing down a rlly basic reply made me realize just now that it's all really a lot that we do :p oops! But its overall really fun, aluminum tig welding is probably actually my favourite, even though it can be notoriously difficult to get the hang of at first.

I like to make art, so for me it's also a great way to get a side hustle of making cool metal art started, when I start my career and get into a shop :)

We train in my program as welders and welding inspection (all the safety regs/ codes around welding stuff together, structural and for pipes and boilers and stuff, as well as specialized inspection methods) so if you (or anyone else) has any questions in specific, ask away!! I dont know everything but if I don't, I can certainly find out 🙂👩‍🏭👩‍🔬

When you experience tragedy, your entire life can be categorized into two parts: before, and after. Everything you own, everything you do, it’s either something from before, or after. Your memories from before, your pictures from before, your friends and books and favourite music from before. Your first holiday after it, your first birthday after it, the first day of work, the first day of school after it. Eventually those first days become the tenth day, the next year, the fifth birthday, after. New memories, new favourite books and albums and movies, new pictures and new people. You get so used to the taste of after that the pain from before grows dull. It’s still there, those first few afters will always sting when you remember them, but the pain that’s there is easy for forget in the moment. You can laugh, smile, talk to your friends and do your work the same way you did before, and people buy it. Everyone tells you how well you’re dealing with it, how brave you are for being so strong. Then they forget, too. Eventually, that bravery and strength becomes what they expect. It still takes the same amount of strength to get through the day, but they’re used to it, to you. For them, the you from before and the you from after should be the same, more or less. You’ll always feel it, you’ll always miss the before. Your body acclimates to the pain, and eventually, you stop feeling it, but it will always be there.
