Difficulty is relative and practice makes perfect. People love to compare difficulty of processes, metals, positions etc. They’re all hard without practice. They’re all easy with a lot of practice. If you just want to fuse some metal it can be very frustrating to fight with the welder and get nowhere. But if you’re deliberately practicing, getting hundreds of hours under the hood, you will get good. The other crucial component is that other humans have worked out how to weld metals effectively and have documented it. There are tons of handbooks and manuals, detailing which techniques and consumables you should be using for a given weld. Combine that with lots of time under the hood, and you’ll be making phenomenally good welds without difficulty. |

People also love to diminish the value of skilled trades and high quality craftspeople. If it takes thousands of hours to become a competent welder then it’s hard. It’s okay to say that things are hard.
