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. There’s a lot of differences but also a lot of similarities. I had a great time chatting with him and we have a great conversation.

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Mike Miller about one of the deepest, darkest secrets in the blue collar workforce that nobody wants to talk about. It’s a topic that needs to be discussed and the young up and comers need to be made aware of it. This is a topic that I’ve wanted to cover for a long time but needed to find someone with first hand experience. Not too many people are willing to discuss their past out of fear they’ll be shamed, or lose their current job, or that people will treat them different if they find out. I’m really appreciative that Mike reached out and asked me if he could share his stories to not only help those currently battling alcoholism, but also to help others from falling into the same cycle. The construction trades are tough, they’re physically and mentally demanding and oftentimes can be overwhelming due to the high stress level caused by tight budgets and time restraints. Many people don’t know how to cope with the stress and they turn to drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism to escape from their reality. And the biggest problem is, we glorify drugs and alcohol… we make jokes about it… but in reality, there’s nothing funny about drug and alcohol addiction. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not anti-alcohol or against having a few drinks once in a while, but it’s something that needs to be done in moderation. Mike and I cover a lot of great topics during the episode, and provide some insight to help those who may be struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction. I hope this episode helps those that need it, and brings awareness to the topic. You can reach out to a live rep 24/7 by going to alcohol.org or by calling 1-800-685-5770 for alcohol addiction. If you need assistance with drug addiction, you can go to drughelpline.org or call 1-844-289-0879 If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide you can go to preventconstructionsuicide.com or call 1-800-662-4357 Find local AA meetings in your area with this handy app: https://www.aa.org/meeting-guide-app Arc Junkies Website: https://arc-junkies.podsite.io Arc junkies Merch: https://shop.threadmob.com/arcjunkie/shop/home Arc Junkies Website: arc-junkies.podsite.io Friends of the Show: Lincoln Electric Instagram: @lincolnelectric Online Store: store.lincolnelectric.com Save 20% on all Gear and Accessories use ARCJUNKIES20 in the discount box at checkout Save 10% on Welding Machines and Fume Extractors use ARCJUNKIES10 in the discount box at checkout      Everlast Welders Instagram: @everlastwelders  YouTube: Everlast Welders         Online: https://bit.ly/37xJstI Use Codeword ARCJUNKIES at checkout to get upgraded to a free Nova Foot Pedal and TIG Torch with the purchase of any machine that comes with a stock foot pedal and TIG Torch.  Rockmount Research and Alloys, Inc.

In today’s episode, I am chatting with Jacob Schofield, I first met Jacob at the SouthCoast Welding Competition back in 2018 in Houston Texas, Jacob is a pipe welder by trade, but has since started to venture in to other areas and industries in welding due to their not being much work in oil and gas right now.

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.   Follow Nate on Instagram: @weldscientist Arc Junkies Website: https://arc-junkies.podsite.io Arc junkies Merch: https://shop.threadmob.com/arcjunkie/shop/home   Friends of the Show: Everlast Welders Instagram: @everlastwelders  YouTube: Everlast Welders         Online: https://bit.ly/37xJstI Use Codeword ARCJUNKIES at checkout to get upgraded to a free Nova Foot Pedal and TIG Torch with the purchase of any machine that comes with a stock foot pedal and TIG Torch.  Rockmount Research and Alloys, Inc.

Joining me today is Michael Monsivais. Michael is a welder for the Pile Drivers Union in Southern California and has an amazing story. He spent much of his youth and adult life incarcerated in Maximum Security Penitentiaries because he was on a bad path and made some poor choices. Micheal has one hell of a come back story, during his last prison sentence he built a welding school inside of the prison to teach inmates a skilled trade and prepare them for release back into society. Micheal founded a 501c3 company to help train inmates and get them hired once they have paid their debt to society. This mans story is the epitome of giving back and helping others get into welding.   Arc Junkies Website: www.arcjunkies.com Arc junkies Merch: https://shop.threadmob.com/arcjunkie/shop/home   Friends of the Show: Everlast Welders Instagram: @everlastwelders  YouTube: Everlast Welders         Online: https://bit.ly/37xJstI Use Codeword ARCJUNKIES at checkout to get upgraded to a free Nova Foot Pedal and TIG Torch with the purchase of any machine that comes with a stock foot pedal and TIG Torch.  Rockmount Research and Alloys, Inc.

In todays episode, I am talking about the Fundamentals of SMAW. Im giving everyone a crash course into my favorite process. I get a lot of questions about what process to use, when to use it and the advantages and disadvantages of different processes so I figured I'd do a series of different recordings on the various processes. This is just the first episode in the series, I plan to do SMAW electrodes in the near future and then work into GMAW, FCAW, and GTAW and possibly cover some of the thermal cutting processes as well. Hope you all enjoy.    Arc Junkies Website: www.arcjunkies.com Arc junkies Merch: https://shop.threadmob.com/arcjunkie/shop/home   Friends of the Show: Everlast Welders Instagram: @everlastwelders  YouTube: Everlast Welders         Online: https://bit.ly/37xJstI Use Codeword ARCJUNKIES at checkout to get upgraded to a free Nova Foot Pedal and TIG Torch with the purchase of any machine that comes with a stock foot pedal and TIG Torch.  Rockmount Research and Alloys, Inc.

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.

In today’s episode, I am chatting with a few of the guys from the Hooded Hero Foundation. They do some really cool work for students entering school who don’t have access to quality gear, or simply can’t afford it. I am a huge proponent of giving back to the welding community and this group is the epitome of giving back so I am honored to have them on the show. They have a really cool story about how it all got started, what they’re currently doing, and what they plan to do in the future.

In todays episode, I am talking to Ashley Applegate and Bobby Pease of Kentucky Welding Institute. I first heard about their program a few years ago when my buddy Ryan Eubank and his students attended KWI’s welding Competition in 2018. KWI does things a little different in their school and they crank out some Jam up Welders ready for the workforce, when students leave, they have a long list of certifications, credentials and experience. KWI trains their students for the workforce. I’m sure you all will find this to be a very informative episode.
