How many girls/women know how to weld?

Question

just curious..

Answer 1

I've worked with two.

Answer 2

My dad taught me and my brother how when I was 12, but I don't think I'd really remember how anymore. Two girls I went to high school with are now professional welders (well, one is a professional already, the other is still in training).

Answer 3

Didn't the chick in Flashdance weld?

I know - I got nothin'. haha

Answer 4

I'm one of them. Can, do and enjoy it. Actually, my husband and I are considering opening our own business. I'm sure lots of women can.

Answer 5

I know how to, doesn't mean that I want to or would.

Answer 6

I've seen both Aliens and Flashdance, does that count?

(I had a female coworker once who was a welder, though. So female welders do exist.)

Answer 7

I did some welding 20 years ago - my boyfriend (now husband) wrecked his car constantly, and I helped him rebuild it.  I prefer detail work, though, like soldering and welding pipes.

Answer 8

My dad thought me when I was a teen, at first it was a lot of fun fabricating things, now, I only do it if I have to. =P

Answer 9

quite a lot during WWII

quite a few do nowadays

Answer 10

Ya...I even have art to prove it.

Answer 11

One of my girlfriends was the best at arc welding in ninth-grade metal shop.
