Hey guys,

I was thinking about taking a welding course at a local Votech school, but I wasn't sure if the type of welding they offer will help me on the 914. I am looking to weld some patch panels and and fix up the area beneath the hell hole. The course covers the following:

This course emphasizes:
1. Oxyacetylene welding and cutting
2. Electric arc welding
3. Heat selection on machines
4. Rod sizes and numbering
5. Safe and proper use of AC and
DC units
6. Tig and Mig welding demonstrations

I appreciate any advice as to whether or not this would help me. Or should I just buy a How to DVD on MIG welding. I just don't want to spend money on something that won't down the line.

Thanks,
Dave

Almost everything you'll ever need to do on a 914 can be done with a 110v mig.
I taught the girl across the way how to do it in a few minutes and now she comes over to my shop with little welding projects to do herself. It's not very hard.
