A day in the life of a Welding Apprentice

Reece Knight works as an Aerospace Welder for Inflite Enginnering, who he also completed an apprenticeship with. In this video he is discussing why he chose to do the apprenticeship, what he enjoys about his work and the opportunities it has given him.

I am now 73. I started welding in 1970. My gift to you is two fold. My first gift is to find another skill trade other than welding. You can not totally protect your retina from the radium radiation from TIG welding. When you get old, and when it is dark, you will ALWAYS have a dark haze in the center of you field of vision at night. The only thing you can do to limit this is number two of this gift.

USE YOUR PERIPHERAL VISION AS YOUR GUIDE ahead of your weld pool, not directly at the arc. This will take a ton of practice and patience. If you think you are so good, and retina failure will not happen to you, you are a fool. Your FIRST JOB is to protect your eyes FIRST.

Lucky buggers don't have any OSHA types hanging around making you have to wear all sorts of safety gear! But you see, when you have socialized Healthcare you can get all the chemo therapy and surgeries for melanoma you want for free! What a country!
