EAA Gas Welding Class

I've spent this weekend in Virginia Beach practicing welding at the EAA SportAir Workshop.  It was good fun and I learned plenty even though I had to learn to weld to get my A & P back in the 70s.  I don't weld often so I've been practicing on lots of scrap and some tubing from Lowes.  I had lots of questions which I couldn't find answers to on line, in books, or in the EAA welding video.  It really was money and time well spent and good fun.  Now I'm ready to see what I can do with welding aluminum.  With any luck I may be able to weld my gas tank my self.  We'll see how I do on some other Items I'm making from the same aluminum.
