Calvin Takes Oxyacetylene

By Calvin Scharrer

There are many classes to take through the 5 or 9 month programs
at Hobart Institute of Welding Technology. I decided to test my
learning skill on what some call an old fashion welding style.
Yes, you may have guessed it, Oxyacetylene Welding & Cutting. I
took the two-week class the last two weeks of July. It was a very
informative class on the process. It defnitely gives you the basic
fundamentals on welding and how to control the puddle, heat
control, and even penetration of metal. I can say that I learned a
tremendous amount about the oxyacetylene process and will utilize
my training in everything else I weld.
