Hi, new to the forum. Sorry this is a big long...
I have no experience welding and until recently no interest. I have brought a campervan and while it is ok it will need some welding soon and a bit more across the next couple of years.
This has set me wondering how viable it is to learn to do this myself. My dad is not a welder but can "stick 2 bits of metal together" (his words), has told me not to bother as it's thin metal. As said I have no experience but I am a reasonably practical guy.
I have had a look round the forum a bit and know the advice here is usually watch the videos and crack on but I was wondering if it's worth trying a days lesson I have seen advertised to get some basic knowledge and see how I get on. College courses in the evening won't work due to work commitments so a one day lesson seems the best option.
Any thoughts on the above would be greatfully received.
Thanks Kev
