Haha I can't wait to cert in stainless too...

I'd try the same cert on 3/8 aluminum... But my instructor said the chances of passing are about 10 million to one... Said many have tried, he can count on one hand who have passed in 26 years... So I don't think I'll be doing that cert haha

3/8s aluminum tig? What's hard bout that? You could do it just practice. We did our cert test with 5/16 alum with 1/8 backing plate you want to talk bout a hot piece of metal when your done

Nice job.
We just had a guy quit to go to school for underwater welding. BIG money, maybe something you should look into? He was going to school in Washington state. Between the welding and the diving training it takes like 32 months of school.
