Default Welding Section.....................(.Moderators take note)

I really don't know if this has been mentioned before but I think that there should be a welding section on this forum. There are a lot of DIY-ers out there (myself included) and a lot of us could benefit from the experience of others. What do you guys think?

I think it would be a good idea,especially if you were allowed to upload pics.

that would be a good idea since no section really lends itself to it too much. hybrid/tech is the closest to it and I think fabrication forum would be cool. and I just got a welder so I could participate!

as always, i'd be willing to give advice and opinions.

on a completely different note,
my roomate just scammed 5 welders from work!! one is even a buzzbox! haha, i can't wait until he moves his pos truck out of the garage so we can actually use them.

5 welders? Man, I only have 2 hands!

I think a fabrication section would be better so it gets enough traffic to perpetuate interest and posts. Nobody wants a dead section that isn't read.

Most fabrication involves welding too...

Basic welding is really easy, especially MIG. I learned everything at my shop. I had no theoretical knowledge. I was used to seeing it done and I tried it. Now I have 3 Millermatic 250, a 251, (2) 130's and a Lincoln Power Mig 300. (Of course we weld all day)
