[Dr.Dealgood]

Anyone here weld at all? How hard was it to learn? What equipment do you use/did you get?

I work in a welding shop. Theres a number of different ways to weld, MIG, TIG, Arc, Oxy-Acetylene. The easiest and most versatile would be MIG. As for equipment, we have a number of different welders at our shop, 3 MIGs (2 of which have aluminum guns), 1 TIG, and a Arc. Do you weld, or are you looking to start welding?

MIG is super easy to pick up, i took welding at school this year, its defintely a cool skill to have, plus its super fun

i really wanna learn how but my school doesnt have a metal shop that i can take and learn in and im not gonna randomly go buy a torch and experiment so ill just keep mastering woodwork

If I tried that my kingpin would get stuck in one of the holes and id fly 357 degrees celcius and die- Mat(Deafboy)

Is it possible to weld at home or do you need a shop with full equipment. Can you take lessons anywhere, becuase my school doesn't have.

I'm thinking of taking some classes on this later on.

I have a couple friends that do it.

One makes crazy money now, and is only a level 1, going for level 2 at the moment.

my dad has a MIG in the basement, maybe ill fire that up this summer and build me some sick nasty rails

MIG welding is pretty darn easy to learn, and very fun.
