    ok so i think this is a good place to put this.

    but till about 3 or 4 months ago i did not really know what i wanted to do in live. and now i do! :woot::D and it’s because of this forum and all the guys that do and post what fabrication they do on here. i have thought about doing fab work but now as much as i do now.


    NOW all i need to do is get money and get all the tools i need to get started. (advice is welcome;))

    Get a college degree. That's my advice.

    Or at least go to trade school. being a good fabricator involves being able to design parts that are optimized for their intended purpose. That is something you learn either from years and years of experience, or through school + experience.

    It is not as easy as it looks
