Reply:To all the ones who took the time to reply to my query about starting a group of people to learn about tig welding ----- I say this, I was not stating that chicago was of any great importance--- but rather the place near where I live and I was looking to generate interest in learning the art of tig welding!!!! thank you for the humor, but humor will not educate one in the use of tig welding. I guess the indifference people are exhibiting these days is fashionable-- thank you for the sincere response. signed--disappointed!!!!!

Reply:You could always check at ShopFloorTalk.com.  For the life of me, I can't remember the Admin's online name, but he lives in that area and may set up something sometime.  His name is Ron, and you can find him easily there.
