[gibbau]

I'm a fitter and turner, but do more welding than machining at the moment.

Maybe I can be the ref?

[bLaQ.bOi]

i did that lol

why do u want to use someone elses book? its easy man

[VB-]

yeah did it ages ago. fucking hate homework, thats why i did a trade instead of going to uni (plus i'm a dumb c*nt), hence not wanting to do the paperwork side of things.

[33GTRV]

whats the difference between a boilermaker and a catfish?.........jk lol.

gotta love the old bucketheads, i know i sure wouldnt like to go weld galvanised handrails all day and be staring at the 'light' for a living. +1 for mechanical trades

[Rowdy]

[turboedsloth]

+1 fitter here. I have plate bashers in my crew, i looove fabbing/welding shit better than them. They all seem to have have short fuses from the fumes they suck in

[VB-]

hahaha i feel like the lead actor in one of those alien films "my god, they're eevveerryywwheeerreee"

+1 on short fuses.... c*nt!

[Rowdy]

Yep, ladies lingerie .

I do all the fittings on hot chicks . You can do the gramdma's if you like...

You have to be a boilermaker to leave a joke like that hangin' on the vine.

[bLaQ.bOi]

i guess it depends what you do for work. although boilermakers are sposed to be meatheads and have no finesse in what they do, and think everything can be fixed with a hammer

on paper im a qualified BOILERMAKER

but where i worked the thickest we would go is like 9-10 mm and that was just for comp pads. we used to make pharmaceutical tanks and pressure vessels, so everythings mirror polished and it was all tig work. zero mig!

now i just landed a job at a hot rod and race shop, building rods and race cars n restoring old cars. so... im not really a boiler maker am i lol

the reason why alot of companys make thier students boilermakers is because its cheaper for them.

[Robi33]

I did my apprenticeship as a Sheetmetal Fabricator, mainly on stainless steel and aluminum shit... Only reason I chased after the Boilermakers ticket was to make it easier to get a job in the coal mines. I prefer TIG over MIG anyday though... In all honesty, fabricating and repair work is better than 'gouge, grind, weld' all day, haha.

Yeh, I was just stirring anyway .

I have seen some old school boilermakers turn out some truly unbelievable work, and I've seen some fitters turn out work that I wouldn't give to my worst enemy. All depends on how much pride you have in your work.

I work for Astrazeneca, wonder if we've got any of your gear here?

Nice work on the new job, what an opportunity to showcase your skills!
