Today’s guest is Mark Winchester. Mark and I have been chatting back and forth on Instagram for quite awhile now. I’ve been a fan of his work for the past few years now, he does some amazing work on aluminum. Mark started off his welding career right out of the Navy and eventually opened up his own shop building custom automotive parts. We talk about his welding journey, some technical specs and best practices for welding aluminum and also discuss our love for smoking meats and making Jerky.
