A senior drafter told me my weld callouts were a mess

I was working on a steel frame drawing for a factory in Toledo, and a guy with 20 years in the shop looked at my sheet. He said, 'Kid, your weld symbols are all over the place, the fitters will hate you.' I went back and re-learned the AWS standard from a book I had. Now I use a strict template for every callout, and my shop drawings get approved way faster. Anyone else have a basic standard they got wrong for a long time?

Man, I bet those fitters wanted to send you a fruit basket after you fixed that.

Honestly thought that was a dumb idea until it actually worked.
