Yea, that is the only reason to learn to weld, because you want to, and it is all the reason that anyone needs. You know, a lot of people think you should build the engine also, if you are really going to build an airplane. Did that once, but not interested anymore. I would rather be able to afford a nice FWF package. For me, building the plane, getting it inspected, doing all the paperwork, taking that first flight ( becoming a test pilot ), that is enough for me.
