is welding relaxing?

[weldingkingjr]

Sum people say I am crazy but I find welding relaxing am I crazy for saying this?

[MPK]

Yes, I do find it to be relaxing. I think it is because I love to do it. When I plan on doing something I think about it and do some planning in my head and after I get started welding on it I feel much more relaxed.

When i am welding at the table and have plenty of time ,yes it is relaxing.when it is 15 degrees outside and i am hanging off a ladder trying to patch a leaking pipe with my supervisor telling me to hurry up.NO that is not relaxing.

[weldingkingjr]

yea good point

[weldingkingjr]

well thank you all and if you have more to post go i would like to here what you have to say

Relaxing? Often. Not always

[Robert]

YES.... Helps to relieve the everyday stress. When ever I start to feel stressed or restless off to the garage I go for some metal heating and creating. Even if O an just only practicing my welds, I feel alot better when I am finished. Plus while Iam out welding no one will come out and bother me.

[weldingkingjr]

yea the same here after a day of everyday stress and come home and start welding that help, and a cup of coffee

[julmer]

After I weld for a bit, I usually relax a lot and the quality of my welding skyrockets.

I have about an hour to do, should have done it tonight. Its been sitting there for 2 days, just waiting for me to "relax" ha

[PAToyota]

Guess it is all a matter of perspective. I sit in an office all day, so coming home and heading out to the workshop to do some welding is a nice change of pace.

Not only is welding relaxing but molten metal running down you back and into your shoes is refreshing!
