Don't panic. I know many journeymen welders with a lifetime of experience that
have never owned a welder. They use their employers welder. The key here is to
look at the weld. (Do a google image search for weld) Is it smooth? Does it flow
into the parent metal. If it is lumpy and has slag in the weld then you can
assume it is a bad weld. Many handymen are good welders. The proof is in the
putting or in the weld. I always hired welders by the quality of their welds,
not in the ownership of a machine or tittle.
