Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Learning to Weld

[Bob Duncan <katsurencho@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

  Welding requires at least an initial training. But, mostly it is a matter of practice.

  One thing we did in high school shop for homework, was to hold a pencil across our hand, and make loops across a page of paper. the loops had to be close and even all the way across.

  A finished weld should look clean and pretty (maybe a relative term). I've seen some welds from professional welders, that were blotchy, and uneven. I wouldn't want them welding on anything of mine.
