October 10, 200520 yr I was just wondering how many poeple here can weld. i can can you. if you had to you could or ahhh that thing is bright as hell in there is hot sparks. just wondering.
October 10, 200520 yr My father can. He was a Union pipefitter for many years. He taught me how to use an orbital ARC welding machine when he sold them, but that was years ago.
October 10, 200520 yr I can. . . back when I was in high school, The teacher would always give me the welding projects. To this day I still perfer the MIG welder.
October 10, 200520 yr I can MIG and arc weld too. I haven't done it in a couple years, but I did it a lot back in high school for industrial tech projects. I was pretty good at it too.
October 10, 200520 yr Got my very own Lincoln SP-125 Plus (had it almost 10 years now), have welded many things on my Buick, many odds & ends plus welded up a pair of 4' x 8' custom design steel balaconies for a house I was working on 2 years back. I haven't TIG'd as of yet but MIG has done everything I've asked it to so far. I would like to get the attachment & give welding aluminum a shot- the Buick has a lot of aluminum pieces on it.

October 10, 200520 yr I can Mig, Arc and Fuse.. my father is a shipwelder and I think its in the blood!
October 10, 200520 yr I've MIGed a few times. My dad's great at all the welding stuff. I remember him welding panels over the rear side windows of a Nomad for this guy he knew. Looked good too.
October 10, 200520 yr Soon as I get a house I'm learning. I've helped Sean a few times. ARC, Mig, Tig... he's even got a classic welder from the 1940s.
October 10, 200520 yr Yep, but just because you can doesnt make it a skill, you gotta go to col-ledge for skills.
October 10, 200520 yr Author Yeah, I hate Slag. I know i need to get Certified but, to much money and time to spend in another class. It is starting to really hurt my eyes to i use shade 10 on the Auto-darkening. I love Auto Darking. Do you guys? I posted this because I was wondering if any one welds here. The only thing about Mig I hate is all the adjustments you have to make.
October 12, 200520 yr I can mig and arc weld. I took shop all four years of high school, and never forgot how. (FYI, I can also rebuild an engine, make a birdhouse and work a metal lathe - but can't sew) My exfiance was a pressure pipe welder too, so not that long ago we had a welder, and all the tanks in our garage.
