I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn welding in the back yard from dad. He demanded that I learn to Oxy/Acetylene weld and cut and then become very proficient at arc welding. Applied that knowledge while working on my uncles farm as a young teenager through the summers and again working for another uncles trucking company in the winters and then again in High school where they taught Mig and Tig welding. Back when shop class was highly regarded as a necessity. Spent many a night in the shop welding aluminum and chromoly for local sprint car teams in California. After 40 years of welding I too still have my moments.

I also learned years ago to never throw a tool near the project... always throw in the opposite direction.. LOL
Yeah learned long time ago that throwing things just cost me more money......Bryan has a TIG welding class he offers periodically...I may just have to go learn some things.

Never hurts to expand ones knowledge base that's for sure....
