• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Meetup Notice: Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, visit the following thread: https://canadianhobbymetalworkers.com/threads/announcing-the-2025-ontario-meetup-april-26-in-aylmer.14427/ Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting on the following thread: https://canadianhobbymetalworkers.com/threads/vancouver-fraser-valley-meetup.14754/ Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer.

Hi everyone,

I'm excited to join this forum! My name's Kenji, and I'm from New Jersey. I recently started diving into the world of welding and am eager to learn as much as I can. Right now, I'm focusing on MIG, but I'm keen to explore other techniques too.

I come from a mechanical engineering background, so I've always been interested in how things work and are put together. Welding has always fascinated me, and now I'm finally getting my hands dirty with it. I'm here to learn from YOU experts, get tips, and share my experiences as I go along.

Looking forward to connecting with you all and soaking up as much knowledge as I can!

Cheers,
Kenji

Welcome Kenji! I mostly TIG these days (the last 15 years now), but went through trade college for welding, mostly structural stick/SMAW, with a ticket in flat fluxcore.
