First-time welder!

["Mike Lishego" <MIKESL@tartan.sapc.edu>]

Hello all,
    I've been blessed with the opportunity to do something I've 
always wanted to do - take an art class involving welding!  I won't 
be starting until this fall, but I'm still pretty pumped up about it. 
 I'll be learning on oxy-acetalyne torches.  How does this skill 
translate to mig welding?  I'm thinking about getting a welder if my 
'art' goes well...(Actually, I'd like to repair the crack of doom on 
my MGB doors, but the art prof wouldn't smile upon that one!)
    Take care!
