Hey! That's fantastic. We do have a large group of professionals and shade-trees here and have a great time, too, under the new leadership!! I've learned tons just by trying to help, and asking my own questions time and again, too!! Let's keep it up!

[Pentawelder]

Congratulations Welding Web.
I never knew just how much was involved in welding until recently.
I've been welding(!?!) since I was 10 (60 now) with the carbon rod out of a battery and an electric space heater as a voltage dropper!

[hoot]

Congratulations Weldingweb! Helping people and giving away stuff to help people even more !

[ctardi]

Well well well, what can I say. Had an...interesting past with welding web. It was the first welding community I joined, then shortly joined many others. Some time a few months later, I went off and started my own, but we can't talk about it here. ;) ) The previous owner didn't like me having a tag line in the signature, so he deleted it. I just thought it was an error, so I put it back, he deleted it, and 'banned the crap outa me'. Other things that you guys might remember happeded shortly after that.

A few months after that, Bob contacted me over on my site, wanting to figure something out with me, and all the members of my site who had been banned. So we came back, thanks to Bob, and now everyone is a happy family again!

Thank you to Welding Web, and their Staff, and Welding Design, and the volunteers (other than TexRedNeck ;) ;) ) (Joking!)

[linceagle]

That's Great! I have been learning quite a bit by reading as many post as I can. These guy's have definitely helped me out.

Thanks

[4shorts]

The Welding Web site is second to none. One of the best I've been on and plan on coming back to daily. Lots of great folks with plenty of info on here. Each time I log on here I learn something new. Congratulations on an outstanding informative site. :drinkup:

[fwalz3]

Congratulations Welding Web - the best welding site on the Web!!! I visit here at least once a day and enjoy checking out everyone's projects. Keep up the good work!

[Cushman_Larry]

Congratulations!!!!! I have only been here a very short time but have picked up many hints, tips and project ideas already. I am looking forward to many more enjoyable hours of browsing this site! Keep up the good work!

Larry

[tessdad]

This is kind of like tooting your own horn, HOWEVER congratulations to us all!
This is a very helpful site for me and helps me "Honor the people that helped me, by helping others" In the past, I have worked with small minded people that felt the act of teaching someone something you know somehow "depleted" your available knowledge, well the opposite is certainly true, I gain something every time I help someone.
A similar thing could be said about this site, Bob and his folks have taken a looser control of the reins, and helped us all by building a better place for all.
GREAT JOB!!

[shlomgad]

Congratulations !!!

[zapster]

:cool2: way to go people!

it takes involvement from everyone to make such good things happen..

so stay involved

:drinkup: next round is on me:dizzy:

...zap!

[babydaddy]

Nice job WeldingWeb. I've met some great folks here and have recieved nothing but excellent advise and instruction from the experts that hang out here regularly. I'm very impressed with the good nature all who post here have and hope the site continues to grow. This site is just as good as a classroom experience being that all do a great job posting pics. Thanks again.

[MAC702]

how do i change the solderer title? first question. LOL:cool2:
It upgrades very soon. Just keep posting!!

Interestingly, in Spanish both a solderer and a weldor are a "soldador."

[welderjim]

Congratulations to Welding Web! And thanks to all the regular contributors.
I learn alot just from reading answers to questions I haven't even thought of.
Also, I enjoy the fact that people don't get flamed for asking even basic questions here. It's a nice community.

[chickenEd]

I've only posted a few times, but i've learned a few tricks and gotten some good ideas. A new helmet won't do as much for my welding as weldweb has (but I'll take it).

I've really enjoyed reading what other's have to say about techniques, styles and preparation for specific welding jobs. Learned more here than I could have ever learned in such a short period of time. It's a lot easier to learn from other's mistakes than to have to make them yourself. Welding Web really is #1!
