As others are sure to point out: welding bad for health.
UV radiation that will give you a near-instant sunburn. Combined with IR radiation that will literally burn your retinas if you don’t protect them properly.
Then theres the fact that you’re dealing with upwards of 1200°C/2200°F molten steel. And depending on your process you also have argon/CO2 gas leaks to worry about. That or the flux fumes or vaporized oxides and various metals will get you.
But welding is also fun as shit, and surprisingly accessible as long as you’re not doing structural stuff without proper training.
