Start a New Hobby this Labor Day Weekend
Welding is a challenging and rewarding field of work as well as a fun hobby that can have some advantages. The experts at Pro Weld would love to help you with your complex welding projects. However, knowing how to weld can be a huge help for simple welding projects around the house. Here are some ways to learn welding as a hobby:
- 1. Attend a welding class at a local community college- most community colleges offer inexpensive welding classes that anyone can register for. It may be smart to visit the campus and tour the facilities. Furthermore, ask the instructors a few questions about the course and what skills you will be able to accomplish upon completion.

- 2. Learn on your own. After gathering the proper equipment, including safety apparel, begin clearing your work area. Be sure you have a clean, dry, and level surface that is heat resistant and nonflammable. Next, begin familiarizing yourself with your welding equipment while they aren’t powered, to avoid injury. Once you feel comfortable begin practicing, following safety procedures.

If not, then you could try approaching local fabrication shops to see if anyone would be willing to show you the ropes. Some welding shops even offer apprenticeship programs to teach prospective welders.
