Way to go Brock!

Butler High School Junior and NRTC Welding Technologies student Brock Lines has finished his MIG t-joint with a pretty nice looking vertical weave.

Although a weave like this would rarely be used in the field, it's good practice for hand-eye coordination, timing and travel speed.

The next step for Brock is pipe on plate with 6010 and 7018 stick electrodes. In the second semester all students will eventually learn to MIG weld on thin material, so we're not done with MIG yet! Way to go Brock!!
