Ok, I might as well go first: I wish I could draw. Not at the level where I could make photorealistic portraits, but I’ve always been envious of those who are able to scetch something together in a few minutes that perfectly captures what they want to convey. Sometimes words aren’t enough to express what I want to say, and for those situations I would love to have a simple drawing do the talking for me.
Welding. Just useful for occasional projects, and would be nice to know I could weld something if necessary.
I was a welder for a while, and let me tell you, there are few things in life more satisfying than laying down a good weld.
Shoutout to a good, clean, oxy-acetylene cut as well. God I miss that feeling.
I bet you could find a class on it somewhere. Trade school or adult edu or even a local car club might have occasional offerings. This one is on my list too.
I could go to a community college around me (I know they teach it), but scheduling it around work might take some work. You know, I think I might actually look and see if they have an occasional weekend course. I don’t have to be a professional welder, just good enough.
Home Depot rents out gas-less mig welders surprisingly cheap. You could spend a fun 3-4 hours noodling around trying simple welding of angle iron pieces!
That’s an idea! I’d want to make sure I had proper safety equipment, but that might be an plan when I have some time.
