    Inside CT Race Worx: Where Race Winning UTVs Are Born with Daniel Adams

    What does it really take to build a UTV that can survive King of the Hammers? This week on the Weld Podcast, Beau Wigington heads to CT Race Worx to sit down with Daniel Adams, better known as @phockerfabs, to get an inside look at what it takes to build off road machines that don’t just look good, they finish races. Daniel walks us through their machine shop where precision parts are made in house and trusted on some of the top performing UTVs in the country. Then we step into the fabrication side to break down how they prep material for roll cages, why their tab and slot method matters, and how attention to fit up can make or break a race build. If you’ve ever wondered how to get into the off road racing world as a welder or fabricator, Daniel shares what shops are really looking for and how to position yourself to land a job in the industry. From raw tubing to race ready monsters, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it takes to build at the highest level.

    High Level Skills Nobody Knows About: The Boilermaker Edition

    In this week's podcast host Beau Wigington explores the career path of a Boilermaker within the welding industry while attending the National Boilermaker Apprenticeship Championships, highlighting the diverse skill set required for this industrial profession. We discuss "what is a boilermaker" and the importance of a "boilermakers apprenticeship" for those interested in "skilled trades." We learned that Boilermakers are a little bit of everything, incorporating elements of rigging, welding, cutting, and fabrication, making it a comprehensive "welding apprenticeship" opportunity for any aspiring "welder."Key Topics Covered:- What a Boilermaker is (rigging, layout, planning, tube rolling, waterwall “Dutchman” repairs) and why welding is only ~10–15% of the trade.- How recruiting for the boilermakers apprenticeship works at the high-school level and why tuition-free training changes families’ trajectories.- The “apply now” process through BNAP, finding your local, and why initiative matters (call, visit, show up).- First-year expectations: heights, tight spaces, heavy machinery, union basics (dues, benefits, dispatch).- Skill progression: Stick plate → positions → MIG/flux-core structure → TIG (freehand & walking the cup).- Work realities: outages, 12-hour shifts, precise repairs, x-ray quality, and packing out.- Career growth: no seniority; apprentices who show up and lead can run work and become foremen fast.- Finding your niche: some chase welding certs; others fall in love with rigging or planning and excel there.Learn More About Joining The BoilermakersBoilermakers National Apprenticeship Program - https://www.bnap.com/ Save 20% On Related American Welding Program Courses With WELD20Use code WELD20 at checkout for eligible courses - https://foxly.link/9T3dtcConnect with Beau WigingtonInstagram: @beaudiditwelding — https://www.instagram.com/beaudiditwelding LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beauwigington E-mail: beauw@weld.com

    Stop Buying Welding Gear You Don’t Need with Anthony James

    At Fabtech, host Beau Wigington sits down with Anthony James aka “Meltin Metal Anthony” for a straight-shooting talk on where new and growing welding businesses burn cash, and what to buy instead. From grinders and torches to hoods, PPE, and shop layout, Anthony shares the gear that survives abuse, the stuff that fails fast, and practical ways to vet products at a trade show. They also dig into laser welding, automation, and how to prep your skills (and team) for the next decade. Key Topics Discussed Tools that pay for themselves vs. tools that fail: why cheap grinders and bargain rods often cost more long-term; when a low-cost flux-core box can still earn its keep. Welders & try-before-you-buy: using shows like Fabtech to demo MIG/TIG/stick, and the limits of testing engine drives on the floor. Torches that stay true: hard-earned opinions on Victor and older Smith gear; why some newer replacements disappointed. PPE that protects (and fits): pitfalls of bargain-bin clothing; the case for US-made textiles and consistent QC. Hoods that survive abuse: long-term experience with an auto-dark model (Optrel mentioned) vs. thin shells and short-lived lenses. Shop-build mistakes: poor layout planning, forgetting utilities (power, heat, downdraft, 3-phase alternatives), and failing to size for tables, forklifts, and workflow. Hiring & weld tests: “mess up the settings” as a practical screen for true competence. Laser welding & automation: what’s impressive now, code limitations today, and why technicians who can dial in machines will thrive. Mindset for growth: adapt or get left behind—how risk sports, preparation, and owning your quirks translate to business.
