Taking my first welding certification test tomorrow. It will be a but joint & bend tested. I'm a bit nervous as my eye sight is terrible and but joints are my worst welds because of that. Not sure of the details yet on exactly what the spec are for this test.
 
Good luck!!! When I got both of mine, I was nervous as all get out!! Good luck! What process are you certifying to?

Charlie, delete all the cookies in your mind, go there positive butts there will always be a strong and weak area its expected, years ago on mine,
it was overhead welding a/c and electric gas pipes my weak point but I came through course I good see then. Heads up you will do fine.

I would like to say yes but won't know till the results come back from the lab in a week or two.

The test was a G1 AWS D11 Photos show each of my passes My boss did say he was impressed and proud of me and he's not easily impressed with others welds. Surprisingly I struggled the least of the other 5 employees with much more experience.

We'll take that as a pass. -And if not, you'll clinch it next time.
 
Dang I remember just last year your welds looked like mine----- you have come a LONG way.
 
They look ok to me Charley, I took mine over 30 years ago mine was for structural steel and plate up to 3" thick. Those test arn't all that bad.

My eyes are so bad now I couldn't pass a pee test.:rofl:
