![]() It's like people who learn to ride on their own vs. through the MSF course. Sure, you may go 20 years with no accidents or major mishaps, but at that point you're more the exception than the rule. You'll learn more as you gain experience working on your own, but I don't see any reasonable arguments against getting the training first. ![]()

Didn't do shit in shop class.......Couldn't decide what to make. My attitude was, you're the teacher, so you tell me what to make.

I too wish I took welding class. of coarse one of my buds is a certified pipeline welder so I'm sure he could teach me. Which brings up a point. I highly doubt many welders most of us know are all that good in comparison to a pipeline welder who's welds must pass xray certs. Every one of them! The old school pipeline welders that I have met could weld better behind their head then most average welders. Quote:

![]() Sounds like you did a good job teaching yourself a skill... just saying not everyone wants to spend the time trying to learn by trial and error. Not to mention, have you ever known someone who has shocked the piss out of themselves with welding equipment? Funny... but not recommended. ![]()

Yea I said "before" ![]() There was a thread about traffic light loops a while back. I have installed dozens and had literally installed several that week on a job. Someone asked if a magnet would trigger a loop. I said yes and an engineer on the forum said no. I tried to explain that we use one all the time to trigger them when we set the sensitivity or to test the operation rather than drive our truck back and forth. He basically called me a liar and a fool and a number of other learned gentlemen dog piled their degrees onto the stack. It just seems to happen a lot. Sorry if I were a little too "preemptive". |

I see you learned from an experienced craftsman. That equates to "school" ![]() Also, the magnet thread may have been mine. It works good on most lights but there is still one that it does NOT work with. I even added two big cow magnets to the one I purchased off ebay. I still sit and wait for traffic or after a long wait, "run" the red light ( safely). Jeff |
