Welding, How did people learn?

[sharpshooter33 at roadrunner.com (David Brown)]

I took a welding class last fall.  It helped alot and I would do it again. 
The class I took was a night class at a local vocational school.  We did 
some basic safety stuff and then just started welding.  When we had 
questions or problems we looked up the teacher and he would explain things 
to us.

I'm hoping I'll be able to take another one this year.  Got an aluminum 
intake manifold I want to make. 8-)

Nice because for the $175 I get to use their equipment and expendables and 
weld what I want!!!!

Classes are good to help you understand the little important things like 
someone else already listed. Thickness, types of joints and metals, but you 
really need to weld and weld and weld to get good at it.  The more you weld 
the better you'll get.

I vote for taking the class.
