Weld.com: When did you know you wanted to be a welder?
@rollingbombfab: I never really put much thought into becoming a welder until a representative from a welding school came to our high school. It sounded good since the little experience I had with welding I enjoyed.
Weld.com: Do you have any formal training in welding or fabrication?
Weld.com: What type of work do you do in your day to day activities?
@rollingbombfab: I'm mostly an aluminum MIG and TIG guy. Some stainless MIG and TIG and steel hard wire.
Weld.com: What's the best and worst part about your job?
@rollingbombfab: The best part of my job is being in the town I grew up in close to home working in a small shop environment with a bunch of guys you get to know like family. Sleeping in my own bed every night is a great thing to me. The worst part is you're not gonna get rich working in a job shop, but you can be comfortable so it's hard for me to really say that's a downside.
Weld.com: What advice do you have for high school students or anyone looking to enter into a welding career?

Weld.com: Do you have any formal training in welding or fabrication?
@smfabweld: I have a GNVQ Level 2 in Fabrication & Welding, City & Guilds Level 2 in GTAW, City & Guilds Level 2 in Smaw and a City & Guilds Level 2 in GMAW. This makes up my formal qualifications. It was all done at night school and of a weekend once I'd started the job above when I moved on to Welding.
Weld.com: What type of work do you do in your day to day activities?
@smfabweld: I'm a self-employed contractor so my work varies. At the moment I'm on a contract at a Nuclear Manufacturing Facility not far from home. Daily processes include GTAW, FCAW, MAG and MMA. The materials range from Carbon steel SQ690L, Aluminium 6061, Monel K500, Duplex 2205 and Stainless' 304, 308 and 316. My preference is Pipework, but we do a fair bit of plate at the moment too.

This week we're talking to Wes Mishler (@wicked_welding) of Wicked Welding and Fabrication.
Wes is well known on IG for his insane work with a TIG torch. The welds he puts out on IG never seem to amaze us, which is why we reached out to Wes for this week's #weldersofIG showcase.

Over the past few weeks, we've been talking with and sharing some work from some top notch welders and fabricators. This week, we worked with @moser_fab to bring you some top notch eye candy. Jason is widely regarded as a jack of all processes, so we were especially interested to hear how he got his start and his advice to up-and-comers.
