Dr. Dave---Med School, internship and Residency=C2=A0was a breeze comp= ared=20 to welding.
=C2=A0
Just=C2=A0kidding.=C2=A0you will probably find it=20 easier than dealing with the nurses and politics=C2=A0at the hospital.
=C2=A0
Welding requires a little didactic and lots of practice.
=C2=A0
Depending on where you are, you might be able to find a high school=20 extension welding course. Tapes, etc will probably do well, but a short cou= rse=20 will give you somebody looking over your shoulder (kinda like going back to= your=20 training) to give you some=C2=A0 hints.
=C2=A0
The basics of all welding (although each has it's own idiosyncrasi= es and=20 requirements) are =C2=A01- clean your metal 2- choose the right filler rod= =20 3-worship the molten puddle that you are creating and adding to with your f= iller=20 rod (if needed) and 4- heat control .
=C2=A0
Practice practice practice=C2=A0 practice=C2=A0 practice=C2=A0=20 practice=C2=A0 practice=C2=A0 practice=C2=A0 before you do any final stuff-= -=20 then do it. If you haven't done it for a while, you are going to need t= o=20 practice again. One thing you will notice is that the more you do the bette= r=20 your welds will look. You will always be able to see which welds you did=20 originally and how they progressed as you continued.
=C2=A0
Soon you will be welding Aluminum
