I took welding at the local community college. Learned I should hire
it done.

I learned how to fool around with welding equipment at my father's boat
shop. I learned how to weld for real in a union apprenticeship program.

Well, I am not really looking to do anything structural. For instance
right now I have a hard tail atv to chase my kids through the woods.
There is one part of the brakes that is exposed and I bottomed out the
other day, cha, ching, $60. I would like to weld a small plate over
it, just to help protect it. Oh, and I would like to weld an eye on a
piece of metal so I can bolt it to my boat trailer to carry tools...
stuff like that.... Structural stuff, I will leave to the pros..
