Welding

trendyscotsman12:
a would suggest learning to welding using oxyacetylene welding first, It alot easier and safer than tig welding.Once you learn oxyacetylene welding then a would learn tig wielding.

Kevin Mullins:
To me oxyacetylene was a technique all it's own, but definitely well worth learning.

Sheet metals can be a pain due to heat buildup for sure. (both blowing holes and warpage) I still spread my weld out from point to point to keep from getting carried away on thinner sheet metals.
We used to TIG up all kinds of random dumb stuff "just because". Helped develop attention to details and patience. We'd grab tig rod, cans, tubing, whatever and just start wittling stuff up.
