They offer a welding class at a local vocational school through adult ed. I've been wanting to take it but its not cheap. I really should suck it up and do it. No doubt it will quickly pay for itself. My grandfather was a welder and I spent a lot of time with him growing up. I kick myself for not learning more from him. At the time he seemed way more interested in giving me lawn mowing and hedge trimming lessons! Hmmm...
