Reply:Just a thought...If the whole Mass. thing doesn't pan out, you could move to California and put on your class. (Thought I would give it a shot anyway )-Steve
Reply:Man, I would love to come up there and learn a thing or two...but your about 3000 miles away. Seriously zap, this is an awesome opportunity your providing. I wish I could take part in it. At the tender age of 27, I still have a lot to learn!!http://all-a-cart.comWelding Cart Kits and accessories
Reply:I would love that ....I only learned TIG a year or so ago....I do enough that I can make a OK looking bead, but I would love to have some one that is GOOD show me what I am doing wrong...so count me in unless I have a show or we get WAY behind in the shop.though to be fair I should warn you I am a blacksmith not a welder.... we tend to do things that make real welders want to cry.MPHeat it and Beat it!!!http:www.Fallinghammerproductions.com

Reply:Very nice of you, but you have to get something for them. At least cover the cost of DVD's and shipping, and maybe a 6-pack.
Reply:I would definately "make a donation" to have a copy...

Reply:Zap,  how about we send you a self addressed envelope and a blank DVD....that way no cash changes hands and we can at least show our appreciation.  If you made a video I would certainly send you a packet.Michael

Reply:Sounds like my little shop. I can't find stuff when it's organized.
Reply:Zap, it sounds like you better alert the local hotel/motel industry that you are planning this.  Sound like you're going to get a major turnout.  I would definitely come if I wasn't so far away.That's a super generous offer.awright
Reply:Zap I would Like to attend. Could you tell me what the date is and what time. I live in North Andover MA. I just got to make sure I take that Saturday off of overtime.Drivesector
Reply:i'm thinkin' late oct..i have a lot of stuff to get/do to make just the welder happen..my brother was in there today getting a 200 amp breaker panel out back..said the welder will have electricity by friday...now theres the water issue... i need to clean an area...but there's nowhere to put what i have to move..when we do this you'll know what i mean...but i just hope somebody can learn something...that will make me  if not then this happens..  ...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:but i did just have another thought..i'm gonna have a donations box there..open shop..electricity..consumables..gas and etc...but it will go to my boss tommy..he'll be there anyway..after all why should he have to "foot the bill?" it will happen..i'm not getting any younger.. ...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.If I amy be so bold...   I'd like to offer the same thing to the southern members. I'm in Fayetteville, GA and would enjoy helping anyone learn the craft. I know most of you are just interested in the art of welding, but the theory really hlps out when Murphy shows up in the shop. I have to warn you though, I've been accused of explaining how to build a watch when simply asked the time.Try out this test I wrote for my RR class. I'm amazed at the lack of tech. knowledge out there. I give this test to my students in the fiorst five minutes of day one.Weldtek Attached FilesWelding Test.doc (26.0 KB, 48 views)
Reply:Is Fayetteville just south of Atlanta? If so, I may could make it. I'm just south of Chattanooga, TN in Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. That's about 100 miles from you I think.
Reply:Yeah, about 20 miles south of Hotlanta, next to Peachtree City.
Reply:Yep, about 100 miles. I'd like to come. I would definately try hard. I'm in need of a road trip anyhow.

I give this test to my students in the fiorst five minutes of day one.i took it..up to a certain point..then it did'nt matter to me... the main thing is if you can weld you can weld...plain and simple..i took field tests to get certified..not classroom time..but i suppose thats all well and good but if you aint got it you aint GOT IT...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.
