That sounds like a very useful skill to have. I’d love to learn, but like so many people I live in small apartment - so this kind of garage workshop stuff doesn’t work well for me. I do occasional small woodworking projects on my balcony, but it requires a lot of forethought and planning... e.g. mostly hand tools, and i can’t just buy an extra sheet of plywood in case I need it.

First thing I do whenever I move is change my Dryer to a NEMA welder plug and outlet. You can sort of use your dryer as a work bench. They make this mini arc welder that is really small for $140, I've been trying to justify owning two arc welder to just try it. But they all use the same NEMA plug, you just need to switch your dryer over to it and you're good.
