18 Jan 2022Just the Tip Tuesday What the F No.00:25:35

In this weeks episode of Just the Tip Tuesday, I'm discussing the difference in various types of welding electrodes for the Shielded Metal Arc Welding Process. I get questions all the time about which rod should be used for which application. I figured since it was a topic that comes up quite a lot, it would make a great topic for the show.

19 Aug 2024336. Changing the Culture in our Industry w/ Juvi Calvo02:00:38

This weeks guest is Juvi Calvo, President of TipTig and Republic Testing Labs in Houston, Texas. In this episode we dive into the changes we’d love to see in the welding industry to enhance the trade as a whole. We all know about the labor shortages, the skills gap, and the push for automation to support skilled workers, with employers struggling to find qualified help. During our conversation,  Juvi and I discuss a few ideas on how to address these issues. We hope that some of you will consider implementing these changes in your own shops to boost performance, improve retention, and reduce turnover. If you're an employee or someone new to the industry, you might want to look for these practices at your next workplace.

20 Sep 2021191. Nate Bowman FabTech 202101:04:41

Welcome to episode 191 of the Arc Junkies podcast, I just got back from Fabtech 2021 in Chicago. Man this was an epic event. I know a lot of people were hesitant about showing up because a lot of the bigger companies weren’t going to have a presence. But, I honestly think it made the show better, I was able to see all of the vendors, the small business had a chance to showcase their products and services, I got to meet a lot of fans of the show, hangout with some old friends, meet some new ones go to some awesome events and get some great content for the show. I highly recommend you start planning now for Fabtech 2022 in Atlanta Georgia, I know I’ll be there.

Todays guest is Nate Bowman and in this episode we talk about the fabtech experience, some of the cool new products unveiled exclusively at fabtech like Rush Kanes new machine TIG Machine and hypertherms new sync system, we also talk about welding on Instagram and much more.

11 Jul 2022233 Pack It Up Pack It In w/ Kansas Sartin from PAKMULE01:08:58

In this episode I am chatting with Kansas Sartin, owner, designer, and operator of the PAKMULE Cargo Carrier System. Kansas created a business from a project he built back in college out of necessity. It has since grown into a full scale operation which includes welding, machining, packing and shipping. It’s truly an awesome story and proves how far you can go in this industry if you have the passion and drive to do so.

28 Jun 2021179. How I Teach Welding w/ ScottieSmith02:02:55

So, awhile back my buddies Brandon Parrot and Peyton Evans of Sum Dum Welder Apparel told me I should reach out to their former welding instructor Scottie Smith. Scottie is a Navy Veteran Welder and Second Generation Welding Instructor. His father was his Welding Instructor back in the day and Scottie learned a lot from him on how to train welders and prepare them for the workforce. Scottie has also written a book entitled “ How I Teach Welding” and it’s available right now on Amazon. Today we talk about his welding journey and some of the similarities and differences in our teaching strategies. This is a great episode for new welding instructors, or anyone currently looking to add some new things to their current program.

15 May 2023276. Making A Difference in Education w/ Danny Cobb01:53:17

In this weeks episode, I am chatting with Danny Cobb, a CWI/CWI, Welding instructor and owner of American Welding Labs Ft. Smith Arkansas. After teaching welding at a local college, Danny thought to himself, there’s got to be a better way. So he took a chance and struck out on his own to start his own welding school and teach welding the way he knows it needs to be taught. I can completely relate to what he’s talking about and the route he decided to take. In this episode we chat about his welding journey, getting his CWI, and the struggles he’s faced to chase his own dream.

03 Mar 2021Weld Wednesday w/AWS Changes to the D1.1 2020 Structural Welding Code01:13:58

In this month's episode of Weld Wednesday w/ AWS I am talking with Daryl Peterson about the several changes in the D1.1 2020 edition of the Structural Steel Code. If you are a current CWI this is a great overview of the changes that have taken place. If you are planning on taking the CWI Exam soon, this is a great episode to hear about what things you may want to consider to help you prepare for the exam.

13 Nov 2023301. It takes an Industry00:53:29

As many of you know, I had the amazing opportunity to go to CANWELD 2023 in Moncton New Brunswick with the Canadian Welding Bureau. This was a great event full of awesome speakers and presentations on pre and post heat, modes of metal transfer, automation and a slew of other topics. I had the esteemed opportunity to be invited up to the conference as a Keynote speaker on the last day of the conference. My buddy Max Ceron and I took to the stage in a between two ferns type of setup to discuss the current skills gap. While most welders will argue whether it’s a skills gap, or a wage gap (I personally think it's both) the fact of the matter is that it’s not just effecting the US, it’s also effecting Canada, as well as many parts of Europe. In this episode, Max and I discuss some of the things we as professionals, business owners and manufacturers can do to attract young talent into our industry. I’m sure you all have heard that it takes a village to raise a child, well it’s going to take an industry to bring in the next generation. There is not a one size fits all solution, but I give my two cents on how we can start to make a change.

21 Nov 2022252. Stop, Collaborate and Listen w/ Dusty James01:21:21

Today I am chatting with my Buddy Dusty James from Pacific Arc Tig Welding. Dusty and I have been chatting back and forth quite a bit since his first appearance on the show over a year ago. We finally got to meet up in person at FabTech in Atlanta Georgia. I love chatting with Dusty, we have very similar goals and mindsets. It was awesome to finally meet up and talk face to face. Dusty is a bad ass tig welder who runs Pacific Arc Tig Welding on YouTube and also has an online curriculum so that you can learn how to tig weld from your garage or anywhere else you have access to a TIG machine. Be sure to check out his channel and give him a follow on Instagram if you haven’t already.

30 Nov 2020149. Maintenance Welding with Rockmount Welding01:07:39

Today I am chatting with Pat Adams from Rockmount Welding. They make some really cool welding rods and wires designed for the real world use. Im talking after that beautiful piece of machinery leaves the factory and gets put into service and is now covered in oil, grease, mud and paint, what's the best rod to use to make a repair? Well its not the first rod you're thinking of. They have exactly what you need to get your equipment back in action.

In this weeks episode I am chatting with Shaun Graham @thedrivenweldor about his experiences in the scenic industry. This is an area of welding many don’t know about.

In this episode, Shaun and I chat about how he got involved with the scenic industry, some of the tools and equipment he uses to bring these creations to life and some of the cool project he’s been involved with.

31 Jul 2023287. Im Good...?01:26:44

This isn’t a typical episode, it’s not about welding, but it is about some of the issues we as welders face. I feel that it’s a topic that many of us struggle with and therefore it’s a topic I wanted to address on the show, because I am sure many of you all are going through something. I told you all awhile ago, that my mission with this show, is to help, educate and inspire the next generation of welders. That doesn’t stop at welding. I’ve spoken with a lot of people in our community recently and they are all going through some things, things like stress, divorce, alcohol and substance abuse, thoughts of suicide and depression. I’ve dealt with some of these issues as well and figure it would probably be a good idea to get someone on the show to talk through this and also come up with some ways to deal with these issues. I am also putting a few resources for you all in the show notes of this episode. You’ll also be able to find them on my website arcjunkies.com under this episodes title. Joining me today is Lesa Perrish out of Houston Texas and later on in the episode, Mike Miller joins us to share some of his thoughts and experiences.

18 Oct 2023Weld Wednesdays w/ AWS Automating High Mix Low Volume w/ Corey Mays00:55:13

In this episode, I am chatting with Corey Mays, owner and operator of CM Welding and machining located in Midland Texas. Corey and his team serve the Oil and Gas Industry. Corey started to adopt the use of cobots in his shop several years ago to help out his team and decrease wait time for his clients. As you all know, the oil and gas is a fast paced  industry and when something goes down or they need to redirect resources, it needs to happen yesterday. Corey knew that to remain a solution for his clients, he needed to add automation to his shop.

Today’s guest is Christian Cordes coming to you all the way from the Norther Coast of Germany. Christian is a bit of a  welding guru and we get into the topics of GMAW and GTAW and discuss the differences between welding in the states versus welding in Europe.

David also volunteers his time to weld up hospital beds in Malawi. David is a super cool guy with an awesome story.

28 Nov 2022253. Keep On Keepin' On w/ Danny Keiderling01:57:00

Today’s guest is Danny Keiderling, a rig welder out of the Wyoming area. I first got introduced to Danny via Instagram and TikTok, he does some great how to videos, and has some handy tips and tricks when it comes to welding, and he’s always a super positive guy and genuinely cares about the skilled trade of welding. Danny was recently involved in an accident that has left him as a quadriplegic, but Danny didn’t let that stop him. He’s now trying to teach himself to weld once again and make a full recovery. He’s already made significant progress with his physical therapy. Throughout his injury and therapy Danny has kept his positive attitude and continues to push himself a little more each day. He’s one hell of an inspiration to many and I wanted to get him on the show to share his story and motivation with you all.
