Super human welding

STAINLESS STEEL VALVES 

These babies actually speak out for me. Have you ever seen such A beautiful thing. Alll I gotta say is. .  with great skill, there's greater responsibilities. Careful what you wish for.  If you desire to become a highly trained, skilled welding specialis, then every weld you do,  think about how can make it better then last. By changing machine settings, speeds, positioning and mainly technique adjustments. Doing this will only make you better. Never settle for average, strive for perfection. Don't get all cocky and talk yourself up, let others talk about your skills . Don't post pics of ropey cold rolled, jagged edged  weld lines (hangover) shakes.  If you do get what you want. Be prepared to get taken advantage of by future employers. Overworked to death, when that happens its not fun anymore.  All my photos of welds are all welded using my LWPS application, that i offer as services thru Nelsons Welding & Consulting. Try me!! You won't regret it... Weld right,Weld tight

My Work

Hiding behind a name.

Insomnia has been smothering my nights of late. So I tour the fantastic net for anything to put me to sleep. Lately when on my twitter account, I've noticed there's people giving advise and talking about such things that should be spoken from people who are TRUE MASTERS. By reading and then posting them gives most the wrong idea. I take pride in my trade and respect all those who love it as well. Those who sit at a desk digging for other tradsemens articles on Information. While sipping coffee and bitting their nails,behind a big company logo. Sitting as fake professors giving advise from others wearing a company jacket. Acting like there higher then all because look at me i got all the fancy company websites and resources.. Lmao. Too bad all that was on them sites was all the same crap spread throughout the net. Same articals different name on top. So boring to me. Its rather insulting, How can such a big company put these individuals in these types of jobs without true mastered hands on skill. Must be the crap that flows is thick and because of logo people believe him. I registered on the site just to ask a question that was not to complicated considering it was " ask the expert". they responded with some stupid reply correcting my terminology with some technical BS that was completely irrelevant to my question. WTF. Expert eh?? I phased it like a true journeyman would. Black and white. Not some BS they read about in a technology artical. Give me a break me expert!!! I replied to his lack of knowledge in issue and to date no response, to a completely valid question that relates to a product i bought with their name on it. Effin pathetic it shameful. They have so many looking up them and they really aren't able to do it like masters or even experts. This sickens me. There's people who really could do great things in their positions because they would actually relate to people. Writing their OWN arrivals and helping those in need with information they know works not what's new on internet. I smelt the BS right off the bat. So i erased all i followed and started fresh with real people that are true. Not dummies hiding behind masks. I've got more tallent in my pinky them any of them jokers there. Too bad because the product sold is phenomenal.. It scars the company in my eyes. Blind leading the blind. i couldn't stand it. Sheesh v

Welding trade needs to seriously train welders better, STOP GRINDING. KEEP WELD WHERE IT BELONGS. TRAINING A MUST!!!!

In the past years, I've noticed that the loud vibrating tool I can't stand is the welders #1 tool. REALLY?? Some welders when setting up the pull out 3 or 4 grinders REALLY?? THEY have a zip disc, 1/8 stone disc, 1/4 stone disc, a flap disc and not to mention a die grinder with a carbide. WOW!!! TO ME ITS A WASTE OF TIME. to them its normal. NORMAL?? The whole day all I hear is grinders screeching. NORMAL? ITS DEFINITELY NOT NORMAL!! That tool if used in a welding application means one thing you screwed up. So a rational mind would try to rectify the issue not continue screwing up. You think???? Think of all that time grinding is welding time loss. Not too mention they use more consumables because they weld a rod, then grind half of it out.NORMAL? ITS NOT THERE FAULT ENTIRELY THO. Everyone dose it. Some more then Others, I don't use any abrasives at all. I do use only on stainless a variable speed grinder with a super soft polishing pad and that's to get the darkness out otherwise I wouldn't to one.. Carbon steel, Its been at least 3-4 years since i ground anything. You say ya right. Lol. My method is quite simple, anyone can do it.....Wait.....wait..... Just lay each weld pass properly.Do it the way it's meant to be done, wow..complicated eh? Hahaha. There is more to it but that is the basic fundamentals of it.. Learn to set machine to right parameters, it sounds foolish but, that's what it is. Here's an example - your car just say requires high octane fuel to perform best, if you put it regular. Sure it works but poorly it shakes and sluggish not mention consumption. Same thing as not refining the welding skill by training basic fundamentals and logic. Just by complete understanding of what's really happening during the weld process alone will increase quality and quantity while decreasing the usage of that flippin grinder. my method i use on Everything i weld is foolproof. I've had at least 900-1000 xrays shoot over the past 4-5 years without a single repair or indication and i can pound out at least 3 to 1 over the average welder. LWPS. ITS HIGH PERFORMANCE WELDING and it works. When a welder works with me on a job for a few months. His skill level increases significantly when job is done. Confidence is higher so is his Pride. That's what i offer at NELSONS WELDING. Training in basic understanding in theory and LWPS WELD IMPLEMENTATION, THOSE WHO WANT TO BE GTEAT THRIVE. But you can only lead a horse to water. Please stop grinding. Just weld it. Don't grind it out. NORMAL!!! SHEEESH

Welders in need of a few tips that will improve your skill drastically, ask me!

I enjoy helping those in my trade. I was trained early for six years by some mean tradesmen with good hidden hearts. Basic fundamentals are the key to evolving into complete understanding. If you understand the principles and how the welding process works in theory. How consumables like 7018 SMAW electrode burns away to stub and leaves a metal trail. Those are keys to start evolving. By understanding the machine how it draws in power and uses it. Learning parameters settings for different kinds of materials & thickness. I am known as one of the best in my union I work in. Because of the knowledge that was pounded in my head for years. You got questions, are you ready to evolve into the best that you can be. Ask away. I'll help a fellow Welder anytime anyday.

70% of xray welds are failures in non union shops

This goes out to all those in this field of work. Whether your an inspector or shop manager, if you know of this type of xray difficulties. My Program will eliminate inspection fears. LWPS works!!! I've gone at least five years with 0 repair rate. Logic is poured into theoretical science. Those who engage fully will quickly improve their skill levels. There's much more involved to achieving goals Clients are requiring from the start. So if you are in inspection environment and know of companies who consistantly have troubles with xrays and other types of QC. HELP them out by mentioning NWC   services.  IF your a shop Manager, it wouldnt hurt to inform yourself of the benefits NWC provides. @ NWC , first meeting is FREE of charge.  

comments, questions and such are welcome. Created to help Clients with laggin production, quality issues. by rectifing issues normally not thought of.

 LWPS is used solely in all NWC applications. Thx Nelson Silva @ NWC.

My pursuit for EXCELLENCE

Twenty years of learning my trade, Everyday pushing my limits to excel. To be even better then I was meant to be.
I was hard on myself, my superiors and Trainers also pushed me. Quality Control Inspectors picked and prodded, I stood tall took all criticism, listened to their advise. I learned from some of the Best from a well Established Nuclear Facility. Six years of intense training took my Skills,Capabilities to another level. Now when I perform, people around me are blow away on how I do things so fast so efficient still visually appealing. I tip my hat to all those who pushed me. I guess they seen things in me I couldn't. I am now a leader, trainer, a Solution Consultant in a start up Business offering what I was forced to learn. These Blogs are serving my attempt to reach out to those who could benefit from my services. Stay strong

What is LWPS.

http://qr.joosee.com/NelsonsLWPS.png

SMAW process (LWPS) unique techniques applied

Carbon header socolet 2". TIG root stick fill and cap. & 2" heavy Union multi pass weld application. Every arc that's struck is planned for the next. Pre meditated assault like. Planning ahead while in process, in theory should eliminate errors ahead of time. Logical thinking is the main ingredient in my (LWPS) applied program. This program designed for those who have the will to evolve to higher ground.

Note*...grinding prohibited in LWPS

I started welding this header with the four 2" olets. Pic in top centre shows a fit & tacked up starting point usually I use 3/16" gap opening.  Out comes TIG TORCH, parameters should have been pre set in early stages of job.  WPS on jobs should always be followed. If job has no written procedures, you should already know the approximate amps from initial job analysis. E.g pipe diameter, sch.>Thickness,  process and attachments, all analyzed and resolved the issue. TIG root all four olets switch over to stick SMAW I used 7018 3/32 rod to fill them out and shaping them for the cap. Absolutely no grinding was done to header except for bevelling pipe ends preparing the fitt up of butt weld.  Oulets are beveled so TIG root application melts materials together without internal discrepancies. When at the final stage. Take a moment and strategize weld placement and look over your work, plan it. 

Now you should know the amount of rods to finish also welding sequence, parameters adjustments. Ready go!  I refuse to grind anything especially pipe welding. IF LWPS is applied each weld pass is perfectly placed in its planned sequence, grinding is either a crutch lack of confidence.  Or amateur inexperienced required tool. An experienced tradesmen shouldn't need a crutch.  LWPS IS EVOLVED WELDING PERFORMANCE. USING MIND AND BODY ACHIEVING  HIGH EFFICIENT WELDING , keeping Above average Quality in Visuals. Look at all five photos check for any grinding marks. Grinding took place briefly in preparing header drilling, oxy ace torch. Once welding begins. Grinders have been removed. 2.5 hrs to complete all four welds. 

Rod consumption down. Cost of disks saved and time is under half estimated hrs.  LWPS is not for Welders who make excuse and blame others or machines for there lack of skill. Definitely keep that grinder handy. Those Welders who never stop trying to improve striving for excellence will shine like a diamonds 

When working in large numbers.
