learning to weld
well ive finally got my hands on a welder. i have been wanting to take a class for the last year. but havent been able to because they are always scheduled the same time as my apprenticeship schooling. so one of my buddies came over yesterday and brought his welder and the old floorpans out of his 41 willys. im learning on floor pans because i need to put some patches in our metropolitan before i put the drivetrain back in. he said he would leave the welder at my house and i could use it as long as i want. he is also going to come back with some thicker steel to teach me some more. he just said practice, practice, practice. to practice, i have been taking my grinder and cut slits in the pans. then practicing tacking it back together, and practicing 1 inch beads. i know these pictures arnt anything great, but im pretty excited. ive always wanted to weld, and now im learning!
