Choice is yours. It really is never too late to drop a bead down between some fucking metal. My suggestiong on a good start. Read welding symbols and learn different types if ypu dont know. Butt welds, t joints, flare bevel, full pen vs partial pen, cracks, roll over and various defects. Start with decent equipment and im sure you can start gluing within less than a year
Shit, I could get people making decent MIG weld in less than an hour. A month of practice and they'd be hire-able.
It really isnt that hard. Im no welder but i do a lot with welds with the product we make. i learned a lot about welding in years time just being involved with various things. Usually spec heavy jobs in the pressure vessel and pipelinel. Things like hardness, xray, ut, mp, lp, HAZ,, sour service and low temp applications. a lot is easy to pick up.
You say that My welding teacher in high school.would disagree.
I am assuming someone reasonably intelligent...
I aint talkin about backyard welding. And yeah by the time I got really good at it at this stage it would be to late.
Backyard welding is all you need to know practically speaking. Welding as a job is shit. Especially the chemicals, gases and other hazards that FUCK you up if you're exposed to throughout a career.
Did you miss the aluminum part? And I kinda meant for my own use but I have been exposed to all kinds of shit from asbestos to round up.
