You do a visual inspection of the welds at D-i-c-k's (has anyone else seen all the welded stuff in this store?!) Sporting Goods and point out all discontinuities you can find to your wife...and she gives "the look" followed by an eye roll every time...

this actually happened today
your eyes are so bad from all those years of welding that you cant figure out why your weld gets worst each time you put the wire brush to it, it wasnt wire, yard sale plastic (small brush)

You joined this forum just to post to this thread.

You try to use that black crap as filler metal.
You refer to your O/A rig as the blue tip wrench.
When your boss tells you to take the scrap steel to the recyclers and you dig through it for anything "usable" first.
When the "usable" pile is bigger than the one going to the recycler.
Working for a brick/block mason and you have almost as many pallettes of "usable" scrap as you do brick and block.
When your workmates look at your steelies and tell you it's time to buy new ones and they aren't even broken in.
When you drop everything just to weld up a broken set of cheap brick tongs.

When you Forget your ground clamp all the time. Or forget to turn on your gas every single time you strike your first arc for the day..
When you set the gun down on your mig welder, walk away, comeback later and theres wire EVERYWHERE!!! And ya try to clean it up before anyone sees.

you have to go to the eye Dr. because that microscopic metal flake won't come out and your eye swells shut. The Dr. removes the flake and tells you to come back next week to have the rest of the rust removed.

You start a 100% wood project and end up needing to weld something to complete it.
