Welder, see’s a wanted ad in the paper, welder needed, 25$-55$ an hour.
Welder comes in for the interview, same scenario as the video.
The welder is left to perform his welds, supervisor returns to inspect them.
The welder has completed two welds side by side.
One weld looks like it was done by a high school kid who just smoked a joint, the other was the finest weld he had ever seen.
The supervisor asks him, what’s going on and why the quality of the welds are so drastically different.
Welder: The ad stated that the position paid 25$-55$ an hour
Supervisor: Yeah…
Welder: Well, that there weld on the left is a 25$ an hour weld, an the one on the right is a 55$ an hour weld, which one would you like sir?

After interviewing 35 welders he had his project built for free.

As a 35 year old non welder with 42 years of non welder experience, I can absolutely confirm that those are in fact welds

Was hiring a welder and placed an ad online through indeed. Guy shows up pushing a shopping cart and asked if i was still hiring. I was puzzled and walked him in. Ran hoops through everything. I paid for a weekly hotel, bought some walmart clothes and groceries for him. Best employee and friend ever. Divorce ruined him and he is now living much better.

I hired a kid right out of welding school. He was very talented! After testing him thoroughly in everything from fit up through welding, I asked him how much he thought was a fair price for his work. He asked for $15 hr....
I knew of his young wife through my wife, and I knew they had a new baby. ..
I told him I was wasn't going to pay him $15 hr. And I scolded him for low balling himself. I insisted on starting him at $20 and said that if his attendance and attitude was good, Id raise him to $25....by the time his first paycheck came due, I gave him the raise, it was obvious to me this kid was the best employee I'd ever had the privilege to work with..
For context, this was back in 2007.

As a carpenter of over 20 years experience, I can say with 100% conviction, that is metal and not wood.

[MountainEagle]

Whoever welded this deserves far more than $25 per hour.

[kingofthefleetians]

For those wondering, that is a good weld

[alanbrooke]

Ran a weld shop, little Puerto Rican girl shows up for the weld test, aced it. So final I asked where'd you learn how to weld? She said her father was an underwater welder in the Navy. Great dad.

[StraitD]

For those who don't now, this is fantastic work. If for $25/hour for one hour of work you think this welder only deserves $25 then you're ignorant. Especially since the company probably charge the client $800 for this job, if not more. $25/hour is 2005. This is 2024. Want better employees deserving of this quality of stick welding, pay them an appropriate wage, don't undercut him. Give him $40/hr. Minimum.

I welded stick and TIG on an assembly line making cargotainers. I passed my test with one week of training. I learned to weld fast and accurate with the men I worked with and not letting them down on quota jobs. That man is worth $40 because he will become better and possibly a teacher. Thanks Hank Berzinski RIP! Love ya for staying after work teaching me.

People don't quit jobs..they quit bosses

[SyntheticParanoia]

Dude is beyond a welder. He is a sculpturer. A weaver of metal.

[joeaubert]

A guy with no experience who shows up on time everyday and can read a tape measure is worth $25/hr.

[EAEAKGEJEJ]

This is ridiculous, this man deserves more than that, I I’m a electrician, I seen men who call themselves electricians, know absolutely nothing about electrical and just because they hold a journeyman license make $40/ hr.

This is called a two-way test. You test his welding ability, he tests your ability to be his boss. If he says $25 and you give it to him, he knows you ain't shit and ge can find a better boss. You offer $45, he knows you'll treat him fair.

[meganb]

Bro didn't just weld, he straight up 3D printed.

[tcswag]

Dude can literally stack boxes at UPS for 25 an hour with health and dental

[havenbanks]

As a full time real estate expert having practiced for over a decade, and having no relevant history with welding, I can honestly say without a doubt that these welds are top notch!
