Any Apprentice Or Recently Qualified Boilermakers On Here?


Recommended Posts

i love that this thread has had some new life injected into it... by a fitter! :P

i do almost zero welding at work, and when i do its only ever arc. i have never touched a mig or a tig at work... i do muck about with them at home though :ninja:

im thinking about buying a unimig procraft 240... any of you guys used one?

btw, good luck with the new job blaqqy, most rods are a work of art- so now your an artist :P

Thanks guys, im f**king pumped to start the new job! rapt as!

daleo - yes pride definatley has something to do with it, if your company does anything for CSL or is in the dairy industry then theres a high possibility.... although we were a new zealand owned company (spew)

No CSL, but I used to work for Dairy Farmers, we installed $42 million in upgraded plant 2 years ago.

16x 11000 litre batching & pre filler storage tanks and about 11tybillion metres of stainless pipework, That was a fun job...:whistling:

just wondering how many boiler makers do we have on here???

Ok i'll admit it, I'm a boiler maker/welder lol....Still haven't met one who drives a GTR, feel like I'm one out in a crowd when I pull up on site.

    • I did not go to GTR Festival. It's quite a long drive and the car wasn't dialed in yet. I also wanted to see how the racing portion went before going. From what I can tell the classes were not heads up, index, or bracket - just whoever has the quickest ET wins. Never heard of that sort of thing before and maybe some people like it but it's not my cup of tea. I don't suspect I'll go if that is how the racing is done. I did get the car out three times and had issues each time. Some were my error - haven't raced the car in over two years - and others were parts. Had trouble getting the clutch to slip correctly and remembering how it was set up in the Haltech. Broke some drivetrain parts as well that couldn't be fixed in a couple days to get back out. Season definitely didn't end the way I wanted but at least the bearings are still fine! Not a fleck of material in the filter. Really hoping next year is the year I can actually test this car properly. 
    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank. 
    • Yeah go with that one 
    • This one?? In other news: I cannot tell the difference between my red MX5 with the silver grey hard top......... and the Ferrari 599XX EVO, they might as well be twins, well.......apart from the big wang hanging off the back of the Ferrari...🤔🤣, without the wing they are identical
