I love to weld and find it relaxing, too. Until the ass hats here poke fun at it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

My welds look like sh!t. I can stick metal together but wouldn't wanna show it to anybody. I like vacuuming and doing dishes, (Cause I'm good at both)!

I'm thinking about taking a welding class at the local college. I worked in auto repair shops for 20 years and should have been practicing sticking metal together instead of "Taking lunch"........

I am shocked, simply shocked that such a criticism could beleveled at a learned helper of the poor teener. It can only be jealousy and envy.

Hey! You sir are a doctor! Didn't you take some sort of Hippocratic oath to uphold the standards and ethics of the physicians craft? Its your duty to inform the people. If you must know I take a handful of Tylenol and wash it down with an extra large triple double before I even attempt to start welding. When the job is done I sit back and admire my work in my lead paint, radon filled garage and chug a few glasses of cold gin and smoke a nice Cuban cigar!

I like to do a little gas welding once in a while. More especially when I'm dealing with thin metal. I don't own a TIG and I like the infinite heat control that gas offers, i.e. moving the torch handle in and out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

When I was a kid (teenager) I helped my dad replace a drivers side rear quarter panel on a 68 mustang coupe when he was done there was very little need for any filler of any kind. He had me holding a soaked towel on either side of the welds as we went as a heat sink. While he didn't teach me to weld I got to see what really good welds looked like. I have not learned MIG or TIG yet but One day I will.

I rather enjoy Mig welding 1/8" and thicker material.

You really get to slow down and experiment a little with the metal. VS the typical thin stuff its just draw a line or work a hole.
