Construction What Are the Best Types of Welding for Beginners?

[sbrothy]

Ok maybe I am misreading this post but I thought it should be pretty clear to you that I understood you were joking about lighting it up in your apartment. Am I to understand you think I'm in a panic over this? Trust me, even if I did think you are serious, I wouldn't care. That's just who I am.

Ahaha. No I wasn’t refereing to you. You seem to have understood perfectly. In fact, I wasn’t referring to the casual reader either. I was referring to the person - whoever that might be - who reported the post but failed to read the entire thing.

;)

What I don’t understand is that the post I made just before that one explicitly told that I might be laying it on a little thick to get a cheap laugh out of folks.

Maybe it’s because we all sometimes, ie, select “Hot Threads”, or similar, and want to contribute but it’s several pages of posts from different people and reading an entire thread to point out a specific point you want to make might not seem necessary. In thruth it might not. I’ve done it myself. I’m not holy here. But misunderstandigs may quickly be the result.

Well to be fair, it wasn't really clear what-all you were kidding about. This is one of my comments in the Mentor discussion thread about the reported post:

He said in his post that he was joking, but I could not tell which part he was joking about. The in-apartment part, or the in-home part, or something else? Still, you would need at least a well-ventilated and reasonably fireproof garage type setting to operate welding equipment and a furnace, IMO.

So it was very reassuring when we saw you post this in clarification:

I’m in the process of renting a proper commercial tool shop. I’m going to have a look at it next week.

I understand. I thought I’d established, from the previous posts that I understand the dangers. So to reiterate myself: I’m aware that I need to have both water- and foam, fire extinguishers in place. Access to an eyewashing station. Control over humidity and, however improbable if solvents are present, the risk of invisible and odourless creeping fire. Also, I’m not gonna do anything alone. Someone has to operate the extinguishers or call 911 (or 112 as the case may be). As I think I mentioned I’ve secured a course in how to assemble and operate the plasma torch and which gasses to use for TIG-welding. I realise I have a tendency to indecent humor. I’ll work on making my sarcasm more obvious.

As someone suggested. Start small. You are skipping too many steps and are asking for an accident.

I did construction for 10 years...
