Default Re: Most helpful or amazing thing you've learned

The biggest thing for metal work is to understand that every weld is a shrink point, period. You can not stop the shrink, you can only limit the size of the heat affected zone.
When learning about how to work metal I found the video about shrinking metal opened my eyes the most. It was after that I understood enough to make what I thought was impossible possible.
