Mr Sibley has convinced me to learn how to weld. has anyone been on a college course to do welding? is it something I could do at night school.

Is that because he's sold you a ' Mint ' 21
Sorry ,not bringing the 21 to FCS ....just the GTA
i was thinking i might just buy a welder and start welding , it cant be that hard not worth doing a course for surely unless you need it for work, have a bit of a practice first you know
loads of good stuff on you tube about welding and ebay do the learning CD's.
I recently watched some you tube vids on Flux mig welding, gave some very good tips.
Even though this guy seemed a bit dodge I found it quite useful

I picked up the welder for one of the first times last week and have been making a sand blasting hopper. Going very well

i learnt to weald in a few weeks, practice makes perfect, still while i cant make a smooth weadling line, ill just reach for the grinder till i can!!
I'm certainly no expert but I am quite sure it would need to be a mig with gas.
The flux core is great but I could see it just blowing holes straight through a car panel. (especially a 5 as we know how thin they are)
Good luck
try this dude.. i read though all his work and it seems good
