  • Like stated above: I have no idea what I’m doing, so take this with a grain of salt.

    Regarding welding, I am lucky enough to have someone close by that does it for a day job. Therefor I have the chance to get some educated input, as well as access to professional equipment. This is how I ‘learned’ MIG welding. I am sure there are courses around (at least where I live, but you would have to google that yourself), but I just went ahead with a project in mind and it worked out. In contrast to wood, you get plenty of chances to ‘make it right’. The saying “filler and paint make me the welder I ain’t” has some truth to it. Just prepare for lots of grinding and sanding and you should be alright.

    With all that said: I don’t like welding very much. It smells and I would always make sure to have proper ventilation. Also make sure you are well covered to avoid burns from weld spatter.
