social nite (learn how to weld)

Post by joebe1 »

Was just looking on mini resource and came across a few posts on how to weld, which gave me the idea :idea: . If the interest was there from all regions i no one of the teachers i work with gives plc courses on welding. As the winter months will be soon setting in some might like to tackle rusty panels they have been putting off and this could be the perfect time to learn how to weld. if the interest was there i m sure an evening some time in september could be set up, :D

That sounds just the job for the 1275GT sitting in my garage. Any chance of making it a Saturday afternoon?

I'd love to do this if the emphasis was on MIG welding. Any course I've checked out is on arc welding.
