Neil says, “I learned how to weld at Hobart Institute with Mr. Ernie Jones as my teacher.  I went on to welding school at the U.S. Navy base in California to be certified; then on to Subic Bay, Philippines, to be certified once again.  The test was 6-inch, schedule 80 in a 6G position and was 3-inches from one wall and 3-inches from the other wall.  I managed to pass the x-ray test and then go on to weld this pipeline.”
