I've always wanted to learn how to weld -- even before I bought a 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I see a lot of you on here weld and I'm just wondering how you learned. Community college? work? Just bought a welder and went for it? I've searched the local community colleges and couldn't find any classes. I'm in the bay area so if any locals know of a particular place to go I'd love to hear it. I'm thinking mostly towards MIG. I'd love to learn TIG (mainly to do aluminum) but I've heard over and over that it's pretty hard. Shannon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

I took it at ROP in high school and then got a job doing it 10 hours a day for 4 days a week, back then I was making about 500 a week which in the late 70's was pretty good money for a guy still in his teens. It only lasted about 10 months as I burned the hell out of my eyes and felt that my vision was more important than money. I have still been doing it off and on since. Its not hard to do, like everyone will tell you, practice will make you better at it.
