Where's a good place to learn welding?
that all depends on what you're trying to do and why
Fair enough. Basics, like frames to build a small table or fix a metal playground.
Just get a welder, scrap metal and start messing around?
essentially, yeah! for small house projects and hobbyist work, you can find youtube videos on anything you'd want to know. If you buy a nice brand named welder, they often have full instructional videos on how to operate the whole machine. You should look up a list of "fabrication shop tools". someone out there aught to have made a video going over basic shop necessities, which can be niche if you want to build certain types of things (ex: large vs. small projects). A welder is just an awesome tool, and knowing how to weld is pretty badass, but without other basic tools like tape measure, channel locks, level, square (speed square, combination square), soap stone, knowing what you want to make or do, etc, etc, you wont be doing much with the skill.
Do you partake in hobbies, crafts, or any kind of garage construction? What kind of tools do you already have?
