Soldering is a useful skill that's easy to learn the basics of, and can be done in an hour. You'll need to have bought a basic soldering kit before you get to it though. :)

I agree on this, but even better, stick welding. I learned how to stick-weld in my shower (since it was the only place i could do it without risking of burning down my apartment) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-Ro9VqLwfU

Oh, interesting idea. Recently learned to do gasless MIG welding, as it's pretty easy and the gear is cheap. Similar to stick in that way.

Wanted to learn it a few years ago, but didn't have a suitable place I could do so. Hadn't thought of "in the shower cubicle".
