Hey guys so after watching all of you build your pits and trailers I was thinking it would be pretty friggin cool if I had the know how to build a pit myself. A community college somewhat local to me has a full on wielding program that is obviously geared towards a career in welding they offer certification tests also.
If I were to teach myself I'm not sure if I could borrow my dads Lincoln Electric 125 or if I would have to buy my own gear.
I might look into it as a career, seeing as how I'm in the middle of wanting to change my career choices. Here are the courses they offer:
WELD 39 - 2.0 UNITS - WELDING SHOP MATH
Basic math skills needed for fabrication, print reading, and welding projects
WELD 50 - 3.0 UNITS - PRINT READING
An introductory course focusing on the interpretation of structural steel prints and sketches.
