u want to get some sort of cert or what? i mean what purpose..
if just to learn for DIY, go part time at welding shop la..
can learn & get some cash bro

if u go those gomen course u'll get less learning, but more wasting time

sure can.. dah nama pun DIY

better for u not to try the oxy-acet first.. it's space & cost consuming.
just research a bit on arc welding/SMAW..
go buy a grinder & a mini/hand held welding set one, & u are good to go

sure can la.. see youtube
SMAW is the easiest & simplest type of method

i use this brand. local made
http://www.wim.com.my/webpages/wimproducts...=Stick%20(SMAW)
used mildly for DIY, 5-6 yrs ady.. no issue since day one. cost me ard rm500
other than that, u'll need grinder, gloves & face mask. rm200+

if getting a 2nd hand, better to ask what purpose it used prev-ly.. if used in welding shop, better not.. if for maintenance, diy etc i think no prob..

for me, ironworks are easier than woodworks. Potong & weld here n there, shape it & u'll get a strong everlasting product.

what a wastes if lidat.. even if the rod is rusty i still use it, till really near the other end..
as long as it joints & chun, sure can la. diy one no need have to surpass certain test etc

i no pro der. i think more like hardcore-ed addicts to diy. especially welding.
compared to masonry & woodworking, what you can make & use by welding are limitless. fr auto, furnishing, house-related etc.. plus it last longer & the cost is cheap too

the teary-eyes is bcos of the smoke + inefficient air circulation.. which are typically happen at gomen training centre

usually any hardware sell it. some hardware provide cut off saw for u to get the bars to be cut & fit it in ur car.
deswai i suggest u buy a grinder + a smaw set. u can plan the measurement 1st & straightaway cut at the shop.
the grinder is just for u to trim or maybe do some correction cutting only

yes u can buy even 1 piece. i always use 1"/3mm/6m angle bar if using smaw. around rm30/pcs

if u buy from dealer/steel hardware the price will be much lower

this is hollow bar. very not advisable for smaw or beginner. if MIG can la.. if u try weld on these sure lobang2 one
these hollow bar harder to get at most hardware as it only used in grill works.

what do u wan to diy actually?
