TWS Proud

I came in barely knowing how to weld, and you guys helped me a lot cause I’m in a different state with a welding job that you guys hooked me up with.

I won first place at skills USA for the welding sculptures in 2016 with this peacock! Mig, Tig, and stick welding all in this sculpture!

This weld wasn’t very hard at all the hardest part was climbing through the pipes to get to this one. The hardest part was trying to hold the grinder and myself up at the same time.

Just another day in paradise!

I would have to say I am most proud of the skills I obtained from attending TWS.

The high low off set on this open root exceeded and 1/8 inch or more. The o.d of the stainless fitting is almost the i.d of the carbon elbow. The drip root I learned helped me tremendously. I’m welding in randlemen North Carolina for powerfab. Proud tws grad.

The shirt says it all….

I am most proud of my 7018 overpass weld .It wasn’t really a challenge for me. I’ve learned that you have to keep cooling the plate due to it getting to hot.

I dont take pictures of welds but im proud to have been able to attend the international welding contest for the pipe trades representing UA Local 9! TWS laid the foundations for my skills and to be admitted into Local 9 and further my ability with the help of my teachers. I always speak highly of the education and all around good times had during my time at TWS and hope everyone can have the success ive acquired with TWS as a start.

I’m most proud of have great instructors like rick Zoey an Eddie I have learned so much an deeply greatful for what tulsa welding school has givin me

It had been 8 years since I had even picked up a tig rig,glad the muscle memory was still there.

I’m proud of my TWS experience I’m 21 years old and making money I always dreamed of and I haven’t gone to work a day yet because I absolutely love what I’m doing

I’m proud of the fact that I can provide for my family! I’m proud to say I work so my wife can get through school without having to work. All because I went to TWS to better myself for my family.

I’m really proud because when I first started school back in June I knew nothing! Now I’m in phase 5 and starting pipe! I’m really excited about my future career in welding and it’s all thanks to TWS

I am most proud of how my welds have turned out in the past few months of beong out pr school. I had to overcome many things one was being at school while my mom was diagnosed with cancer. I gad to learn how to weld while both hands and foot where doing different things.

Overhead bevel. I missed the tie in but it’s still a good root.

I was very proud of the way this weld looked. There are so many challenges to overcome on a hotpass. The key for me was to find a amperage I liked that could fuse and move quick with to not suck the root back. Coming out of this welding coupon, I learned that 3/32 filler wire is the way to go with a hot pass. It fuses in the walls of the pipe rapidly and it’s easy to move that little of metal quickly without sucking that root back. There and gone. TWS Proud

The best vertical restart I’ve ever done

I am proud to be a part of tulsa welding and learning new things along the way. Everyday is a new challenge that I am selling to take on.

This is my TIG root and hot pass. It’s small and might not mean something to others but I started this school with ZERO experience or knowledge. I came out of the military and decided that I wanted welding to be my career. I fell behind and didn’t think I had what it took but spending some 1 on 1 with the instructors to get their own opinions and tactics showed me different ways. I laid this TIG root down in less than 45 seconds and the hot pass followed suit. This is just the beginning of a great career. All in all I’m proud of coming everyday and showing what I am capable of learning and doing.

I’m most proud of the skills I learned while becoming a welder and winning the Top One welding contest at Tulsa Welding School. Inspired by my father who spent 20yrs in the Air Force and 10yrs with Lockheed as a welder (air craft), TWS was a perfect choice for me. I had all the skills needed to successfully complete these welds therefore I had no challenges. TWS prepared me for a great career after graduation as a boiler maker and a oil/ gas value welder.

Not the best it the world but still learning ready for my first day of tws in june.

I am most proud of how unique and diverse this weld is, there are not many like this and it took me a lot of time to construct, there were a lot of challenges I had to overcome such as were to bend the re-rod and to make it look very realistic

I’m only in phase one but learning vertical was a little challenge,overall pleased with my score though.

So I officially filled out my application for Tulsa so far the happiest day of my life ready to start classes in June?.

I’m proud that I can accomplish a good weld after practicing and falling many times but I never give up because I know I will get it.

Love burning wire!

I am very proud of my Mexican background.

I think what I’m most proud of is being a TWS graduate. I learned so much from this school. It was well worth it!

I am most proud of joint Tulsa welding school and making myself better as a person.

All graded out and went to the tilted kilt, great place

I am proud of the 94% grade I received on this weld. For me, the challenge of the 4F fillet weld was getting the rod angles just right for the overlaps. However, I did get burned a few times but its a fun reminder that I enjoy what I am learning here at TWS.

Was my first time welding,learned I had to slow down on my welds to get a nice weld. Love going to school here,best choice I’ve made!

This is from my phase one, 3F weld. I was very shaky about these welds but I give credit to my instructor. He kept pushing me more and more until I got it right. And then he made me do it some more.

I am mostly proud of not giving up and so far and using the many resources i am provided with to help me get through. I had a problem with overlapping welds in phase 1 but I worked hard until i learned it.

Making stainless welds in the rack. In Cheyenne Wyoming. That was my first year of welding and made $145,000 that year

Proud of the outcome, and not giving up on myself when I was still learning how to tig! Tulsa has amazing instructors.

I loved be at shop, i love my instructors, both bryan and jerry, i like how they pen point and im instructing on my welds. I like my surroundings, friends that i met, my instructors, the whole staff treats me good. I like my classes, I’m eager to know everything I’m being taught,both im class and the shop. I like everything from the welding machines, the supplies, and all the good people, theirs not set backs, I’m learning as i go, i just love and like be there, awesome and love the city if tulsa

Tulsa welding school was the best part about being in Florida. When I was in school I was happy, cause I was always learning something. The weld pictured is of 70/10 coppernickle, without Tulsa I wouldn’t have been able to perfect how to weld this type of material which very few can weld. I’m proud to have graduated from Tulsa and would like to thank the principal, Charles, for landing me my first welding job. Thank you.

This picture was taken during a “welding off” after I tied for Top One at the end of the welding program. This was a challenging yet fun way to win my welder, definitely a good experience…

I am proud that Tulsa teaching me new ways to run my weld that allows me to weld more comfortable. It was Challaging getting my welds to line up in a straight line but I stayed focus and steady. I learned that in order to make good welds it’s going to take practice in the booth and dedication.

There was no way to get to this pipe without hanging off the side of something because of machinery below and we had to do the best we could with what we had

i am most proud of becoming a top welder in my class. I give it all to my parents.

I am most proud of the completion of Tulsa welding school. It was an exiting and long journey that I enjoyed and also got to experience some good knowledge of the welding processes. Hopefully, my skill can take me far as the sky.
