For any welder, it would be a Christmas to remember. But for Lonnie, it was the beginning of his long love for fabrication and custom auto work.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been around cars all my life and always wanted to work on them and modify them. My parents decided to get me a Lincoln MIG welder for Christmas when I was in high school and I\u2019ve been hooked ever since.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before becoming a full time fabricator, Lonnie worked as a mechanic, and even spent some time working on a top fuel dragster. \u201cI still work on cars, most of my work is custom automotive fabrication. When I decided I was done working at repair shops, I had been doing a lot of fabrication work on my own projects and just decided to apply for a welding position.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/joewelder\/wp-content\/new_ups\/akumafab8-1-625x351.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/joewelder\/wp-content\/new_ups\/akumafab8-1-625x351.png 625w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/joewelder\/wp-content\/new_ups\/akumafab8-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/joewelder\/wp-content\/new_ups\/akumafab8-1-320x180.png 320w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/joewelder\/wp-content\/new_ups\/akumafab8-1.png 712w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\u201cThe first job I got that actually had \u2018welder\u2019 in my title was welding stainless handrails for boats at a local marine fabrication shop. There\u2019s lot of opportunities in this industry. You can weld anything from car parts to boat parts to medical devices to the pipeline. If you find a niche you think you\u2019ll like, find out what process they use and practice it.
