Tips on learning to weld?

Miller, have some great welding resources (especially TIG) which is what we all do now a days.

If you send them an E-Mail they will send you a pack (last time I got it many years ago it was free!@) and in it there are some quick look up slide rules etc to help with basic machine settings etc.

The only help I can offer you as I do my students who do it as part of their courses is to 'set your self up and be comfortable and SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING!' That sounds real basic but as I tell cunts, you have no hope of welding right if you are not in the correct position and you cannot see the weld as you are doing it, sounds basic, but you would be surprised how many people fuck this up.

Thanks for the tips man! I look into emailing them sometime. I think they have a welding area in the auto skills shop on Eglin so I might try my hand on using what they got there.

you can check your local community colleges as well.. im looking into a course through mine. its run by lincoln electric so it should be good.. i just dont have the time or money to be able to take the class directly from lincoln on their campus since you need to be there like its a job.
