I thought I would post this here in case some of you don't go to the Off Topic Forum. A thread was started in the Off Topic Forum about a welding forum. I have sent a PM to Chuck and asked his opinion on this. How many of you would be interested in a Welding Forum?

I have welders and they are great tools to have. Even though I have welded for many years, I still would like to learn more. We have a member who's user name is 75 that is a Pro welder.

Let us know if you are interested in this type of forum.

Yes let's go for it. Before I bid on my current position, union shop, were I'm at full-time I did a lot of welding and burning. Wouldn't say I'm a pro though. I've welded from 1/8" to 2" T-1 400 steel plate and some aluminum.

I just happened to have a welder given to me last week (a good friend bought a new one, and gave me his old one) I have never tried to weld, so I need to learn anything I can about it.

Great idea Eric! I just paid my welder $120 for some simple trailer repairs that I would have liked to try my self. His work does look very profesional. Next week its off to the paint shop for a quick shoot.

I would be interested. Just like doing any task, there are tips,tricks and traps. I think this would be an asset. Good thinking, Eric!

Sounds like a great idea. I've got an old stick welder that I use to repair the trailer and stuff but I'm "self taught". That means that I'm basicly a "poke & hope" type of welder and need all the help I can get.

I sold Lincoln Welders for 8 years prior to going into business for myself. Trained by Lincoln Electric.

I'd enjoy a forum like that.

I'm in. Anything I can learn to do as opposed to paying someone else is good by me. Maybe you could add some tune-up and repair tips for trucks and equipment. Call it a general repair/maintenance forum.

Man - if you own Buntons, you have to know how to weld. Just finished doing an axle (third one in a week!). Count me in too.
