Unlike you I have some credibility in the welding world. All I do for a living is travel around the country and test welder's skills. I judge welds and welder's 12 hours a day 6 days a week. You should open your mind and learn something instead thinking that your welding is up to par. If I was closer I'd be glad to come where you are and say it to your face. Then I'd grab the welder and show you how it's done. Ask anyone who knows me. I'm not too bad.
