The "Two Week Warning"..Offical Sign Up Time..

admin

Football has a two minute warning..We have a two week warning here..Offical sign up sheet for the welding class..You know the rules..I appreciate that a few members will be bringing their machines with them..One slight problem..Unless you bring your own power supply (I know Dave R is)There is probably nowhere here to supply your machine with electricity..Sorry not my building..Dave R has also offered to put on a stick clinic..Good deal..I've seen his work and he's more than qualified to show some tricks..I have not heard from lorenzo in awhile so I'll find out what he's up to..If we get alot of people...and it looks like that now..We may divide the class in half so everyone can take a turn at everything we will have to offer..Dave can take 1/2 and do the stick thing while I'll do the tig thing and then switch students at lunchtime or so..Everyone can come but I need a definate head count by Thursday the 16'th..I need to make sure we have enough lunch for the masses..Cookout will be here at the shop..So sign up now..It'll be a blast..It always is.....zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.
Reply:I'm not buying the donuts!   On another note, I talked with Chris last night and he is still considering going. A generous offer for a ride was given to myself but being that David R is staying a few days, I won't be able to ride over with them due to prior responsibilities at home. I might be able to follow ...or lead in the Vette.  ...can't have a Ford in front of me! John -  fabricator extraordinaire, car nut!-  bleeding Miller blue! http://www.weldfabzone.com
Reply:man...I really wish I was closer. I just cant spring for airfare + hotel right now, even though I think it would be worth it.EDIT: I KNOW it would be worth it "Ask not for whom the bone bones, it bones for thee" - Bender
Reply:I'm in and look forward to it.I can't bring a machine, much less a power supply with me, but if there's anything else that might be helpful I'd be happy to do my best to come up with it.See you all there.Favorite right now is a Miller Syncro 200.Tons of tools and I blame at least one of them when things don't go right.

Reply:I'd appreciate a recomendation.  Preferably anything cheap will be fine by me (my wife's picky about such things, but she's not coming!). Favorite right now is a Miller Syncro 200.Tons of tools and I blame at least one of them when things don't go right.

Reply:count me in as looking forward to it!i should prolly get some more practice burnin metal before class. i threw together a spare tire rack for the lil trailer at work, and some of them "welds" werent so pretty! (yes plenty strong for the application, but not so easy on the eyes lol)

Reply:OK, since I am going to help, I will take suggestions.  I have Arc Air (gouging) AC or DC tig, dualshield wire, self shield wire, 6010 (I suck at) 7014, 6013, 7018, 7024, Bare wire, spray arc, Plasma cutter.  All portable. If we need another welder, maybe we could coax Microzone into having me tow his along.Out of position would be a good thing to do.If anyone has some stuff we can practice on, it would help.DavidReal world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.

Reply:hey, zap, i was wondering, will you be having any classes between jan. & march? or do you do these things spur of the moment. i ask because my work is seasonal so i dont get much time off until christmas.  i would love to come out and meet you guys and see how real welders tig! i'll keep watching and hopefully i can make it out this winter
Reply:count me and a friend in. also zap and dave let me know of anything i could bring to contribute welding rod, or wire, food, money. just let me know how i can help in anyway. thank you all for helping us newbies :-)Jason
Reply:To the best of my knowledge I will be going but I will not be doing anything other than observing or giving verbal direction. My arm is still in a sling and I fully expect it to be at the time of the class. Next time I'll bring the trailer and my gear._________________Chris
