  • Episode 238: Life Size Sculptures with Rob Jung
    Feb 4 2026

    The CWB Association brings you a weekly podcast that connects to welding professionals around the world to share their passion and give you the right tips to stay on top of what’s happening in the welding industry. Subscribe, listen, and stay connected to the people who keep the world welded together.

    A full-size figure weeping in steel doesn’t just look heavy—it carries a story. In today's episode with Rob Jung, we explore art as a trade with measuring off real bodies, building internal cages, calculating growth from texture layers, and learning the hard way how underquoting can turn weeks into miles of weld. Rob shares the importance of community and how he set up the Rob Jung Youth Welding Program, right across from a high school that cut its shop. With a handful of donated machines, electrodes, helmets, and shielding gas, he opens his doors to youth to learn fundamentals, safety, and pride in what you can create with welding.

Jesse Wilson is a 20-year old third-year apprentice Welder from Moose Jaw, SK, and we dive into how pre-employment training at Saskatchewan Polytechnic gave him a real edge to succeed and how theory matters on the shop floor. If you’re mapping a welding career, this conversation is loaded with practical insights: tickets that matter, tools that stretch a budget, tips for passing tests, and why math makes stairs and handrails less scary. Jesse’s mantra is simple and sharp - ask questions until you’ve got the answer!

    Sparks fly when precision matters with today's guest, Joshua Hren from Long Island, New York. Joshua shares how a career that began with laser welding under microscopes in medical devices took him through an eight-hour 6G TIG test on nuclear pipe and into the tight tolerances of aerospace heat exchangers. We dig into the skills that separate hobby work from production-grade welding, from joint preparation to gas coverage.
