Bay Area "Crucible", Welding class deal..... Options

[BuddyV]

If you are aware of the Crucible in Oakland, and you have been wanting to take an "Intro to MIG Welding" class.... this is an opportunity.

They are offering a Saturday/Sunday two-day class.... 10am - 6pm each day.

Single rate is $415

but..... two-person sign ups are $665 for two people. They call it the "fun together" package, but DON'T get any ideas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Vailable dates are:

Oct 18 & 19
Nov 15 & 16
Nov 22 & 23

I am going to do it either by myself or with another. I would rather save some $

I am flexible on the date.

Planning to buy a welding set up eventually, so this is a great intro..... I have taken one class (general metal work), and it was a blast. A class spcifically about MIG welding for two long days will pay off.

I live in the North bay, Easy commute to Oakland........ and we can end the days with BEER & BURGERS!

Post a comment or message me...... cheers!

That's a little steep but what isn't in that part of the world. One little suggestion; buy your welder (hopefully a Miller) before you begin classes. You will get the basics in class but not the experience. Also, you don't want to buy a welder 6 months later only to forget most of what you'd learned!

..... A few years ago I decided to start taking the welding classes at my local Junior College. Each semester I miss the registration - DOH!!

.... The Crucible is not the cheapest route to an intro to welding, but it is a one-weekend way to get a good start if you are short on time (like I am). And I have attended one all-day class at the Crucible - a father's day present from the wife. I had a blast! It was a "sampler" class, so we were able to experience about two hours of a few differnt things. HUGE fun for a guy that sells office furniture 60 hours a week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I like your advice about buying my welder before the class. I'm sure I will learn a lot that I will want to continue practicing ASAP.

Cheers!..... and here's to finally learning something the right way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)
