Welding: A Handy Skill For
Many Situations.
By: Josephine Stungger
Welding is the well known skill of taking two
pieces of metal and fastening them together in
very strong fashion. Most people have heard
about it and understand at least the above
concept but don't really understand how useful
it is.
Welding is used in more than just the steel
construction industry. Anything metal that is
formed from more than one part has most likely
been welded. Things ranging from car bodies, to
farm equipment, to underwater oil rigs, to
custom mufflers, to sculptures...and on and on.
There are separate welding techniques for each
application whether it be the type of joint you
are forming or the type of metal you are working
with. There is spot welding, arc welding, stick
welding, underwater welding, steel welding,
aluminum welding, brass welding, copper welding,
etc. You can weld big rugged things like axle
assemblies, or tiny fine parts which require an
flair. Basically in any industry and for every
set of desires gifts, and abilities--there are
applications for this wonderful skill.
Welders are in demand and paid well too. There
just aren't enough welders for all of the
welding that needs to be done. And this is a
universal need in every area geographically and
in every area of business, in this country and
throughout the world. So whether you are a
handyman, or hobbyist, or need a great job here
is a great skill to master and use. Welding
classes are available at most local community
colleges and career centers and once you are
certified you will never regret it. You will be
on your way to making your life, job,
hobby--whatever--better!
You shouldn't get the wrong idea though, one
class isn't going to teach you every technique
and just like everything else with experience
comes perfection and ease of welding technique.
A good idea is to get a mentor that you can
observe, learn tricks from, bounce questions
off, and get constructive feedback from. This
can be done on a personal level or more easily
probably by reading information written by
master welders and then contacting them.
So if you want to learn more about the many ways
welding can jumpstart your career or make your
job/hobby better than go take a class, then
start practicing welding and read all you can
from well known authors.
