35RFTW Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 If you do, I am looking to learn. Been considering getting a tig for our shop and myself. I have tig welded before, but nothing extensive. I would still consider myself to know little to nothing. Willing to pay for materials to practice with and your help learning. I would rather get some training from a pro that just play around and waste a bunch of consumables trying to learn. Mainly concerned with stainless and aluminum. Cast aluminum as well. I am free all day on Mondays and Sundays or any night after 7. Shoot me a text or an email to JustinA@800390bike.com. Once again looking to learn, not to hire a welder.

Richard Cranium Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Check the local career centers (vocational schools). A lot of them will run evening adult ed classes. TIG might not be on the curriculum, but be nice to the teacher and they'll probably take care of you. If you can't find anything in Columbus let me know and I'll check with our welding teacher. Was cool talking with you at the Easyrider show. I stopped by the booth sunday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

35RFTW Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 really don't want to bother people who aren't interested or don't have time. I know how when someone is too busy to be bothered by someone wanting to watch/interact. If the people listed are interested, they will see the thread and respond.(I hope lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought about signing up for the adult ed welding class a number of times. Never had the need to weld anything, just thought it sounded like something fun to learn. I'm friends with the welding teacher, so anytime I need something done I hit him up for a favor. And when he needs his PC fixed he calls me.
