A skill that I really would like to develop is the ability to weld.
I'm not aiming to be able to market myself as a welder at the end but I would like to know enough to do basic repairs on the homestead. There seems to be a bunch of information out there on the web about the different kinds of welding, differences with materials, and plenty of opinions to boot.
If you were to recommend to someone how to start getting into welding, what would you recommend? Is self teaching a possibility? Should I try and seek out a buddy to walk me through the initial times? Is it worth going to a program?
I yearn to assemble some contraptions for future projects.
