i have been thinking ab out it for some time cause i like to build things and i love workin on cars, i just dont think there is enough work in the market right now with everybody trying to fab up there own stuff.... have any of you guys taken your work someplace else like to a different market of work? what do you guys do for a living? thanks for the imput

edit: sorry just saw the other thread....can erase if want, or we can add more info to this one

 

go for it, if you want to custom make your own **** for your car, it would be good. my dad makes stuff for me all the time...and it comes quite handy! i think im going to have him teach me some things too.

 

i finished art and design school and now i'm taking welding. for the car, i only plan to fab personal 'one off' stuff. as for other market, i plan to design and make furniture.

 

^mirror of my life. except industrial design and I'm only doing cars now.

 

i think doing car stuff would be the best thing ever, but everybody knows that we all cant have jobs in this industry lol

 

I took welding at First Coast Technical Institute and it was awesome. At this place you have to go through stick then mig then tig... after about a full year you can become a full certified welder in all fields. Its hard but if you want ot learn they help. They teach you to torch, plasma cut, weld, bend metal, cut metal, shape metal, everything. Its very helpful.

I took it through high school. I left school after 3rd perido and went there until 2. The county paid for it.
I know they fofer scholarships at most technical institutes. You dont have to do anythign but keepa decent grade.

 

i just enrolled in a tech school for welding i think the full course which is 2 years is like 2,000-2,500. i'm not exactly sure.
