Welding Merit

I recently spent some time with a group of Boy Scouts who were learning the art of welding. I always get excited to cover such assignments for a few reasons:

A: The challenge, If you have ever worn a welding helmet you know. Things go dark.. Yes, the photographer wears one too.

B: Interest: I personally love this kind of environment. Shops, works sites, anything hands on. I spend most of my free time in my garage working on cars, go karts, lawn mowers or anything in my life that needs a little upgrade or fixin. It’s my happy place. 

C: The people: People in this realm just seem a bit more of maybe my kind, connectable and down to earth. Also, I usually come away with learning something that I can use down the road.
