I have been teaching welding for the last 5 years at the college level. I focus primarily on GTAW on the hands on part and I teach the welding safety, blueprint, metallurgy and weld quality courses for the program. I am always interested in good pictures of real world welds and defects. Over the years I have been able to pull many good pictures and stories from this forum that cover some or many of the aspects of my classroom courses. My only regret in the many years I spent in the fab shop welding was not taking enough pictures to show students. I encourage all of you to post pictures and stories of your experiences in the field. They add a lot of reality to my theory classes and help bring points home when talking about safety or weld defects. Thanks
Hi Jim, was wondering if you could send me a physical addy via email, c_welch@bellsouth.net , I've got pictures of good and bad welds underwater, I'll have to look may have some topside.
