Taking welding class this weekend, Look mom, I made an ashtray! Options

[rjames]

Signed up for a 2 day mig welding class this weekend, and I'm pretty excited. 2- four hour days of instruction. Good timing as I'm planning on really inspecting the car for rust in the coming days. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif)

For any of you other Seattle-ites looking to take a welding class it seems like a pretty good deal. $180 for the whole thing- here's a link to class info
for anyone locally who is interested as they're having another one in March.

After I signed up they sent me some info on the class, including pictures of projects from previous students, I love the address and the car!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chairfall.gif) Look everyone, I made giant paperweights!

Hey... put your name in your sig..

Anyways...
I called the community college in my area and was told the same thing. They wanted me to take 2 or 3 semesters of material and at 500ish a semester.

I actually am interested in the theory part and want to take that still.

but their schedule and location didn't match up to my availability so I kept looking. Then I called the Adult education program. It's high school metal shop really. It won't earn me any college credit. But I spoke directly with the teacher and it helped that he was really cool and has lots of adult auto hobbyists in his classes.

So look into it.
call the adult education program in your area
To make it even better, my class was 1/2 price from the community college!
