Sadly, my only welding 'experience' is running and fetching for welders at my dad's shop when I was a lad. I know you cannot look directly at it without eye protection, and not much else.
I am wondering if it is worth learning a bit about welding (thinking a community college class or 2) so I can someone minor things for myself. In my head, I am thinking I may need to attach hook(s) to my bucket; d-rings or similar to the trailer.
What I would like to know from the community is two-fold. 1) what other things would I likely need to use welding for in my small retirement operation? 2) Do you think it is worth my time to learn at this point?
Thank

I bought a mig welder and started sticking stuff together ...I talked to people who weld for a living and watched any videos I could find on the subject...that was 25+ years ago and today...I still can't weld like a pro but it's good enough for the farm (not pretty but welds hold).But if you have the time and money by all means take a class it can't hurt..I had neither back then...
