ctrow Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Just curious if anyone here is a professional welder on the site. I'm taking a night course at the local votech to get the basics so I can start practicing some. I'm curious what the job market is like out there for welders. My cousin has a welding business in the Antioch, CA area, but then again that's CA. You guys are too strict out there when it comes to modding your toys The desk job pays good but it's also really boring. Maybe there's a career change in my future...

dklapper Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 I think its a nice hobby to be able to weld your own stuff but sure woulndn't want to do it for a living. Toxic gases, flash burns, carpal tunnel syndrome. No way I'd want to do it all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDCRAVIN Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Hey Man I did not know you are in to those kinds of things. Nxt time we meet up I can show you some of my projects. I took Chassis and Suspension fab when I was in Wyoming Tech. I have been doing a lot of metal fab on the side for years. Right not I have a jeep that I ahve built my own frame and suspension. I think there is a lot of need for good welding work. JOSH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctrow Posted December 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 At some point, I'm going to be putting air bags on my 68' chevrolet. I figured I needed the skills to do it right. Granted my dad could do the welding for me but what fun is that? Josh, I'm definitely into the chassis stuff and making it look good. I just don't know how exactly. It sounds like that course you took would have been good times for sure. There's nothing better to me than a nice clean painted chassis under a hot rod. It's all in the details.

I sould have it don in about 2 months. JOSH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
