    Untitled 2 months ago

    After seeing a welding/fabrication art demonstration by an instructor at my school, I am certain I want to learn (or at least try) this.

    Plus, I’m sure it will be useful as my lifestyle becomes increasingly DIY. :)



    learn to weld 6 months ago

    I took a class 27 years ago and did oxy-acetylene. I intend to have my dad teach me electric-arc welding this summer up at our cabin in NM.

    Arc welding 10 months ago

    Learned arc welding in sculpture class at college. Made some really cool things which were too large to save. Didn’t have digital camera back then, so no pix, and I wish I had the equipment, money, and space to do this again.

    life skills 11 months ago

    This is on my life skills list and I want my uncle to teach me how when I move back home.

    I think it would be fun and valuable to learn.

    I should also probably build something through welding too.

    I want to make big sculptures 11 months ago

    What a great way to use metal bits. Make big giant sculptures. I have a friend that welds, perhaps he can help.



    Untitled 12 months ago

    Sam took me to the shop a couple of nights ago and taught me how to weld. I guess i did well for being given very little instruction and it be around 2 am. I want to get better though. Not sure when i’ll have the opportunity to practice but i guess we’ll see.
