Not sure where to post this thread. Recently became interested in welding. Didn't realize how much those guys make, even though I'm interested only as a hobby.
I have a few questions:
1) How dangerous?
2) What cool shit can you weld?
3)Can I do this drunk?
4) Can I make swords like a black smith?
that about sums it up
Fuck you, this is NOT the place for that. You moronic nimwitted rectal baby. Ya dun'goofed.

Welder here
Fuck off to DIY
I am a welder for 5 years now with certs and a degree. To answer your questions
1. Can be immediately dangerous sometimes like a big chuck of steel falling on your head. Most of the danger is from smoke inhalation, arc flash and loud noises thar will slowly get ypu
2. Cool shit is what you can create. Welding is nothing more than a nail to a carpenter. Exotic metals are cool to weld but will kill you faster
3. Yeah if you know what you're doing you fucking retard
4. Welding is the bond between two distinct pieces of metal. What do you think.
Weldding is fun, im no ta professional by any means, but you should go to some classes, they are worth it.

Welding and blacksmithing are 2 different things.
Blacksmithing requires knowledge about metallurgy. I too have a trade in welding and many certificates. No need to be a dick about it.
Pipeline welder here. Pretty cool
Thinking about going to school for welding. Whats the job like? Any tips?
>>959125
can confirm. Welding classes at a trade school are a must if have no one to show the ropes.
I know someone who was a welder for 10 years. never touched a cigarette and has every lung disease in the book. Fuck welding

Fuck. I was thinking about going into welding because it seems like such a portable skill but my lungs are already fucked to that parts of them are dead.
