I have no affiliation with this company, but this is GREAT STUFF for any home hobbyist!

More short videos at www.gsegmedia.com. A frequent question is what is the difference between brazing and welding. This short video demonstrates gas welding and brazing mild hot rolled steel.

I build this thing just from scrap I happened to see around the house

Im currently 20 years old and only have my GED. How do i get into welding school and what is required for me to get certified? Is a community college good enough? And will it cost me an arm and a leg to actually go to school? Will it cost money up front or is it possible for me to get any type of loans or grants?

HappyHandyman.net Pat diverts the 4-runner’s HHO cell Hydrogen generator output to do a volume test, then weld and cook. (Re-wired with10 guage, the hydrogen fuel cell prototype array makes 1800+ of HHO gas in 30 hours, a gallon/minute (at atmospheric pressure). The gas is 40% Hydrogen by volume, 60% Oxygen. Pat uses 4-cell array of Stainless Steel tubes wired in series from a car battery. The simple flash guard: 1″ cigarette butt stuffed in 1/4″ ID rubber tube. The welding tip: Basket ball pump needle. $200 in parts.

If you really don’t like, for example, hot humid weather like in the southern USA, is welding a bad career choice?

Does the environment vary by the welding specialty (like pipefitting or fabrication)?

Please, only answers from those with experience, no speculative answers, thanks.
