WELD EP 156: I Bet I Can Weld Better Than Him with Keenan Maines

In this week’s episode, Beau chats with Keenan Maines, a seasoned welder fabricator, who recounts his 35-year career. He talks about getting his start in welding at Braun where he held multiple positions and advises new welders to get into manufacturing to get exposure to all kinds of jobs. He then talks about learning to weld aluminum after hours at a shop to get another job building car wash systems before walking in the door of DeAngelo Marine Exhaust and telling the owner's wife he could weld better than the guy out in the show who happened to be the owner and put his skills to the test getting a job right off the street. He then left to pursue work building turbine boats and power generators before coming back to DeAngelos where he currently works in the fabrication department. He leaves the audience with advice to own up for mistakes you make, and do you best every day and the money will find you.
