Learning to Weld and Other Subjects

Hey there! Have you ever wanted to learn how to weld metal? Last year, I decided I would like to learn how to weld so I could start to manufacture homemade go-karts for my children and their friends. Unfortunately, I didn't have a clue where to start. I reached out to my brother-in-law Steve who works in the industrial and manufacturing sector. What a guy he is.
