It is possible to learn welding on your own. Many people have taught themselves in their garages. Welding skills are in demand as people today are repairing items rather than discarding them, such as patio furniture or metal planter frames.
Many brands and types of welders are available to individuals on the market. One such type of welder is a mig welder. Basic equipment is needed for this process, a MIG welding unit, MIG wire, heavy protective welding gloves, a welding helmet, a bottle of CO2 (found at sporting goods stores for paintball), an argon/CO2 cylinder and regulator, clamps to hold the item(s), and a welding hammer or files for cleanup of the joints. A heavy welding jacket, long jeans and closed-toe shoes or boots should be worn for protection.
By following safety rules and practicing, you can become skilled in welding very quickly. Repair car exhaust pipes, auto bodies, fences, patio furniture and anything that requires welding. If you purchase a truck and can take the welder to different locations, you can earn a living as a welder. There is no certification required.
There are different techniques for welding, and you will learn to adjust the welder for the application. Reversing the polarity of the machine allows different types of weld to be made without buying other machines. You can do all your metal repairs for yourself, earn supplemental income or begin an entirely new career. Auto body shops are always looking for talented welders; they may provide extra training.
