having used gas as an apprentice and arc welding the progressing to MIG. ( not tried TIG) I found that like many things or rather skills in life have have a natural talent or need to be taught plus lots of practise.
a few may not achieve any real benefits .like driving a car not everybody in world can do so .some need far more lessons than others and a smaller number take to it naturally.
thus with welding .. we will all find. we have various levels of sill. can learn at different rates but good teaching /instruction is by far one one the most important aspects .( for safety alone)
sad that with all the DIY around .car clubs etc that no real short specialised classes are not available in all areas!
colleges may be missing something here. just imagine if all car clubs or individuals with an interest in learning and using such equipment had access to. renting it. a safe environment and instruction. etc
ideally a local college providing training and rental of. equipment and if possible ? a workshop where. skills can be practised under. professional eye and help given when needed. ( possibly for small fees of course ) |

It's some 3 years since I posted the original question, my first experience of welding was arc, then mig, then oxy acetylene. These days I only use oxy acetylene butt joins for body work repairs
Thanks
