I discovered a great way to reduce the financial burden: join a Makerspace.
Since joining a local one, I now know:
- How to use a CNC laser cutter
- How to use a thickness planer
- How to use a MIG welder (poorly)
- And, as of today, how to use a TIG welder (also poorly but, I did better than with the MIG)
Still to come:
- How to use a terrifyingly powerful, 2.5 ton milling machine
- How to use a similar size lathe
- How to use a plasma cutter
- How to use a fiber laser
- How to use a vintage oscilloscope
And a ton more. Seriously, its awesome.
I'm so so jealous. The closest Makerspace to me is over 1 hour away.
Plasma cutting is fun your gonna like that 1!
I've absolutely fallen in love with TIG. I need a lot of practice but I've NEVER been able to lay as nice of a weld with stick or MIG.
