For this week's chat we're talking about safety.  This topic got brought up because one of us had a little accident and we thought it would be a good time to remind everyone to slow down a bit to think.  We hope this episode will do just thinking plus help you remember a few things that might have happened to you in the past.  It is very easy to become too comfortable in this industry and something happens in a blink.

For this week's chat we're talking about 5G tests over 6G tests.  This chat started over a text between us three and we thought it would be a good idea to dive a little deeper into why companies might use different tests instead of just one that should cover almost all of it.  Hope this one helps a bit!  Have a great week!

For this week's chat we're talking about something that we all at some point have dealt with, back pain.  Generally, it all started when we were younger and dumber thinking we could lift the world and slipped that one time...  Now older, that one stupid mistake plagues you ever so often.  We thought it would be a good time to talk about this to remind everyone to take a minute to slow down and think about what you're doing.  Could you use a crane for this, get some help, a forklift?

For this week's chat we continue the conversation about getting your first job after school or passing your first weld test.  At this point in your career you're in a bit of a limbo stage where you can weld but not sure how to fabricate.  We've all been there and this is a little about our stories and also our thoughts.  Hope you can pick up a few nuggets from this one or will send you down memory lane.  Have a great week everyone!
