Anyone Here Weld?

I'v tried gas welding a few times but never got good enough with it to do anything, dont have the patience for it. Only thing I ever use acetylene for is cutting and heating.

Gas welding (brazing?) takes a special knack. I have an uncle who can do it. I've even seen him use a coat hanger instead of the brass rods. I've got a brother who welds and that's pretty damn handy because I don't at all.

take the class. it was one of the funnest classes i've ever taken. i took the basic welding class (intro stick, mig, tig and oxy acetylene) and Stick I. i'll probably be taking more classes in the future and buying a welder sometime in the future.

you can braze and weld with a gas setup. the difference is that in brazing the base metal doesn't melt, only the filler rod. the bond between the metal is only made by the filler, kind of like glueing two peices of paper together. i never got to good at the brazing part of it. couldn't keep the damn thing cool enough.

closest I got was using a soldering iron or sticking a fork in the microwave

I do Mig and Arc........ Much better at Mig than Arc though......... Although not really good at either...... Welding is a real art.
