Hi all,
Part of the reason I picked up my new 60 is that I wanted to learn to weld and I knew this truck needed some repair that required welding and I thought it'd be a fun way to learn. I took a quick stick weld class in school as part of a larger shop class and did fine with it but haven't touched a welder since.
For those who weld, what are your thoughts on learning? Worth taking a class at Dtech or Wake Tech? Better to buy a TIG/MIG welder and supplies as well as some metal stock and just start practicing?
I have some larger projects to tackle on the truck such as the roof rust but hoping to start with some smaller projects like some wheel well rust I just found near the rear seat brackets.
