Welder, see’s a wanted ad in the paper, welder needed, 25$-55$ an hour. Welder comes in for the interview, same scenario as the video. The welder is left to perform his welds, supervisor returns to inspect them. The welder has completed two welds side by side. One weld looks like it was done by a high school kid who just smoked a joint, the other was the finest weld he had ever seen. The supervisor asks him, what’s going on and why the quality of the welds are so drastically different. Welder: The ad stated that the position paid 25$-55$ an hour Supervisor: Yeah… Welder: Well, that there weld on the left is a 25$ an hour weld, an the one on the right is a 55$ an hour weld, which one would you like sir?

I had a welding teacher in Aviation HS in the early 80’s. His name was Hiram Cassel. He said you can ask anyone anywhere in the welding world and they would know his name. From the bottom of the sea to to the top of skyscrapers to The deserts of the Middle East. He was a great teacher with good advice. I’m sure he’s passed but I wanted it written I still remember his advice and remember him. He told us no matter where we found ourselves, if we moved from job to job every 5 years, you could always feed your family by welding. Thanks H.C

He asked for $15 hr.... I knew of his young wife through my wife, and I knew they had a new baby. .. I told him I was wasn't going to pay him $15 hr. And I scolded him for low balling himself. I insisted on starting him at $20 and said that if his attendance and attitude was good, Id raise him to $25....by the time his first paycheck came due, I gave him the raise, it was obvious to me this kid was the best employee I'd ever had the privilege to work with..

Although i agree on it should have been braced om pretty sure that's good enough for anyone on this earth as, no one gives s single shit anymore. Yes you can brace and fixture it I'm tell the end of time, but you have to beat the time some how. If thry give you 4 hours for bracing and you can do without, then that's 4 hours in your pocket.

The welds don't look bad to me, but it all depends on what the weld plan was. Having a part beveled that much sometimes is intended to not have a large fillet for clearance issues on the part. However, if this eye in the part is used for lifting, a fillet added to the bevel weld will make a very strong joint. The joint would, of course, need to be inspected for full penatration before it is used for lifting. $25/hour seems like a vert low rate for this type of welding.
