Starting a 7 month course on welding at my college on monday the 4th.
Did very little welding before this, but i need a trade being 28 years old. sooooo tips?
i bookmarked the youtube channel......
What is the curriculum like? In my opinion the best way to learn puddle control is to learn oxy fuel welding. Hopefully they teach you that. Other than that be a sponge and soak up as much as possible and practice practice practice.
Be the monkey....
My oxy fuel welding skills made learning TIG welding easy. I think of TIG as an electric flame instead of a gas flame.

I'm in the middle of my course now.
We didn't do any torch welding only cutting.
We are doing all position stick becore flux core then Mig and finish with tig.
I think getting all positions with stick has made mig and flux core a breeze. I haven't done any tig yet but I can't wait. I'm having a blast.
Just make sure to ask lots of questions. I find it really helps with getting all the needed information to help succeed.
