Peter;
I've always felt that a good welder was at least 50% artist. Anyone can
be
taught and learn with practice how to stick pieces of metal together,
but it takes an artist to make the welds look good. Sounds to me like
this course should be a good one for you, just starting out.

Subject: Welding classess...
I am thinking of taking a welding class locally to learn some of the
basics
(and have some fun), but with the ultimate intent of being able to do
panel or
other repair on my Tigers and other cars down the road. The local
course is 12
3-hour sessions geared towards sculpture. See description below. Anyone
familiar with welding enough to be able to tell if this might be a good
way to
get my feet wet, especially since the class isnt really focused on TIG
and MIG
per se (more oxy acetylene gas)? Anyone know of any other welding
schools in
NYC that arent degree oriented long-term programs, but more for
hobbyists?
Thanks, Peter.
"BEGINNING WELDING
Learn the basic techniques of creating metal sculpture. Students will
learn how
to safely use oxy acetylene gas, brazing, cutting and grinding and an
introduction to arc welding."
