I can't weld for ****, I've tried and suck at it badly. However, I can draw you a smiley face on the target with my S&W 22a or my Ruger SR9c from 20 yards.

Totally different skill set, just sayin.

I'll be willing to wager that it took you a while before you were good enough to draw a smiley face on a target w/ bullets from a handgun.

It takes the same "skill.set", it's called practice. With one of them you're just willing to invest more time in.

I love taco bell

I love tacbell too... I ate the hell out of a crunch wrap for breakfast today!

I agree with @foxmustanglover on this one, knowing how to set the welder up is the biggest thing inexperienced welders lack. I've seen on more than one occasion a new welder turn a machine on and f some metal up. I can walk over and show them how to adjust the heat/wire speed to get them going in the right direction. I regularly will walk past someone and adjust the wire speed while they are welding without even telling them just because I can hear that it isn't welding properly, time and a lot of it has taught me that. More so than Google, some hands on with an experienced welder at one point or another helped me get started. Sure Google keeps me going when I have questions now ( no Mike, I do not know it all ) and generally gets me right where I need to be

Actually, I was a natural with a gun. Surprised the hell out of me, I can just take a deep breath, and hit where I'm aiming.

That said, more and more practice has made me better at most things in life, welding isn't one of them.

I also recognize my weakness in that area and take what needs welding to someone else.

I learned to weld out of necessity. I paid someone a long time ago to weld something and was raped... that was the last time that happened. First Mig, then stick, then Tig. There isn't anything I can't or won't weld at this point, except maybe plastic... that is impossible as far as I'm concerned

Soldering iron and poly filler rod. Works on bumpers quite well. Try it sometime, you might surprise youself!

Upgrade to Del Taco bro!

The only acceptable use of "bro" is as a rhyme for something like "hoe". You should only be saying words like "hoe" if you gots sum bling around your neck, your hat on backwards, and a good belt to keep your pants just below your ass cheeks so you can show all the other bros your Spiderman Underoos.

So then,....your "peeve" is that I get peeved at people who can't weld?

No, I am just truly asking why other people's welding skills seem to bother you as if it really has a direct effect on your life.

You're not too "up" on the whole theory of a "pet peeve" me thinks.

Pet peeve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A pet peeve or pet hate is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to himself, to a greater degree than others may find.

There you go then, couldn't have said it better myself.

Like theres anybody out there that isn't bothered by anything that doesn't spend their entire life stoned.

Even MY welds look better than that... Barely.

i learned to weld in high school shop as a freshman. i started with acetylene gas welding, and went to electric arc welding using a stick. i was rather a natural at gas welding, but arc welding gave me some fits. never mig or tig welded though, have to try that some time.

It's really hard to believe that anyone would pass this off as a job well done.

Here's the story.

Exhaust leak FINALLY fixed! - Lightning Forum | LightningRodder.com

Edit- The only picture you might not be able to see is a "good" weld after it was fixed.
