Welding is a skill that not everyone has, but comes in really handy when you need it.
Many of the projects performed on cars in these magazines have some minor thing that has to be welded or fabricated that can keep us from tackling the project ourselves.
Picking up a cheap used welder and a book can expand the possibilities immensely. This isn’t just true for car projects.
I have made all sorts of cool shelving, tables, fixtures and other household/garage items that make my life easier.
Welding is a money saver too. You can shave a lot of money off the cost of your project when you don’t need to outsource any work.
I have made a bunch of furniture and art out of scrap metal that I can sell for a few extra bucks as well!
