Welding
A community for all welders and all processes including brazing. If you've never welded before but want to get started, ask questions. If you're an experienced hobbyist, show off your projects. If you're a professional show off your projects, answer questions, and encourage beginners and hobbyists alike.
RULES:
-
All Lemmy.ca rules apply here.
-
Everyone (see rule 98) is welcome.
-
There is no best process, only the best process for the welder and application in question. Help each other, don't criticize or judge.
-
If you’ve seen a question 100 times answer it the 101st time or ignore it. Even better, write a complete, detailed answer and suggest that the mod(s) pin it to the community.
[Did you actually think there were 98 rules?]
-
If you present something as fact and are asked to provide proof or a source provide proof or a source. Proof must be from a reliable source. If you fail to provide proof or a source your post or comment may be removed.
-
Don’t be a dick. Yes, this is a catch-all rule.
-
The mod(s) have the final say.

Went to the class. Obviously, 3 hours is wetting my toes, but I wonder why I didn't do it before!
At least I know that I learnt a bit of flat joining and that I would need to learn other techniques for vertical welding, angle welding and others. I hadn't realized there were differences.
I hope others chime in with advice of tips and things to focus on.
