These guys are mill wrights you have to do a little bit of welding little lathe work some fabrication a little electrical.I worked in the pair packing sheds in no cal and we had to do it all,these guys keep all the old junk running.great vid i love this kind of work thanks Joe
Could I learn to be a welder if my hands shake a bit or should I look for something else? I checked to see if I could draw a straight line, and I can if I'm careful and "bear down" a little, but if I put as little weight as possible on it, I can't draw a straight line at all. Thanks.
Really depends on what type of welding you are interested in doing. Some such and TIG require a very steady hand. Also depends on what level of certification you are looking to obtain.
I really don't know much about welding, which is why I found this video, but if I decide to go that route I would get a two year degree at a community college, which would be the beginning. I'm not sure how to get information about it but I'll ask the CC.
From what you say, it sounds like I could do it, but not necessarily every kind of welding, which would be workable. And I maybe I actually could and I'm just overreacting because of to problems I had as a kid.
Its really one of thoose things that you wont know until you try it. I can tell you this, beinga good welder can open up many doors, including worldwide travle and great pay. And above that its something that i really love to do. It gives me a great satisfaction to know if its metal i can fix it or build it.
even if u got the most steadiest hand in the world doesnt mean ur gunna be gud welder alot more to it then that and no way in hell a wobbly hand shud stop u from being welder all comes with practice if thats what u wanna do do it dont be afraid coz uc ant draw a line...
@qk899 it depends by how much a little is ok i shake quite a bit but not to badley.if it is anything more than minor(like u can baley hold something stright.)thenno look for another job.Welding is all about accuricey and prosision.

He's not welding he's air arcing. Cutting steal its the opposite.

Maybe you should watch the whole video before making a comment. The gouging was just the prep work before the actual welding.

@bigjongpls Because Gouging is taking away a weld or uneeded steel...

@aarojack you're a welder and you can't spell "Steel"? Red flag.

The web page on the degree, which says its a certificate, says this:
"Occupational objectives:
Arc, gas, mig,
and tig welder; welding supervisor; welding
inspector; or sales and service industry
representative."
I don't want to do any kind of supervising or whatnot.
