welder/welding

You just need to practice on scrap for a bit. Like Rob said, welding with gas is WAY easier and better than flux. Ed made a great suggestion about being able to see what you're doing. I wear my glasses when I weld. Watch some You Tube welding instruction videos. There's some good teachers on there for about any type of task. If it wasn't for You Tube.....I'd still be trying to figure out how to cut Crown Molding!!! :BangHead:
