Welding Equipment

In college I enrolled in an elective class for welding. I walked in the shop and looking at the welding equipment and other repair tools, I said to myself what am I doing here. But alas 15 minutes before time, lots of female students came in and joined the class. It was a a fun 3 hour session with 1 hour lecture and 2 hours of actual performance. With complete welding gadgets and I did my first arch welding and my instructor was impressed how smooth is the result.
