I want to get into the welding game but just for a hobby, nothing serious. I have done some searching on Google and I havent found many places that teach welding close enough to my house(closest is in NH, like 70+miles away). Im thinking of just getting a video and a book (and a welder duh). I like the idea of a video better because I can watch it all happen rather than read and guess about whats supposed to be going on.
My welding goals include the following:
Weld up the holes in my engine bay
Weld in some full length subframes
A do-it-myself turbo kit
I will leave the eventual roll cage to the professionals
What do you guys think? I guess I dont need to do too much but I am sure my floor boards are going to rust out some day so it would be nice to be able to know how to fix that eventual problem-hopefully thats a long way down the road.
Do I need classes for all that stuff or can I just practice and be good at it?
