I'm thinking of taking up a short course to learn OA welding instead. A good OA welding kit is pretty cheap and you can hire the OXY/ACETYLENE gas bottles rather cheaply.
I'm told it's ideal for fabricating exhaust systems, but takes practise, like MIG or TIG.
Just curious to know what you guys think?

OA is a old school craft. It will teach you puddle control which is the basis for all good welds.
