[Shop-talk] Welding Class Project Suggestions

What are your needs for the future? Most of the students are likely to be 
hoping for employment whereas as a hobbyist your needs may be different. As 
others have stated, they tend to use 1/8" - 1/4" thick steel in these 
classes. If you're wanting to learn to weld auto body steel then you may 
need to speak up and perhaps bring some sample pieces for 
instruction/practice.
