At times I wished I had picked up welding. Tried a little in HS but my eyes were heavy nearsighted and fumbling glasses and helmet was too much trouble. I did decent with a cutting and brazing torch.

I got LASIK a few years ago and it changed my life so much for the better.

Recently I’ve seen some highly rated welding rigs for small jobs on 110V on Amazon. Every now and then I could use a small burn job and am looking to get one and maybe take one of those continuing ed. classes.

A guy in the office across from me makes all kinds of neat and interesting sculpture and furniture from scrap metal and seeing that got me thinking learning welding. I have a long, long way to go.

Welding is mostly metallurgy, what wire for what metal.

If its any consolation I am half blind now LOL
