Chicago - Supply house

admin

Anyone know of a supply house in the Chicagoland area?  I'm new to welding (currently taking Stick at College of Dupage) and I tried the yellowpages.  I did find one on Western ave. in Chicago.  Al they sell is Miller.  Looking to buy machines and supplies.Thanks,Adrian
Reply:Hey Adrian....I'm currently takin' Weld 120 at COD.  Hope to start some hands on courses soon.I asked the same question some time ago...here is the answer I got:Terrace Supply was recommended.  They have three stores in Norhern IL.They are also Miller dealer.  I was there last Saturday and they are good people.Here is the thread:http://www.weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=1345All I've got is a Lincoln 135+ mig.  But I will be getting my gas and stuff from Terrace.You could also try this place:http://www.weldingsupply.com/cgi-bin...ogs.pl?UNDEF::They have a real store here:EWS Welding Supply Inc., 1161 McCabe Elk Grove Village, IL 60007 Good Luck,Bob T.
Reply:Hey Bob.  Are you in the Saturday classes?  I just wrapped up the oxy/ac welding.  Next semester I'm taking the theory class on Tuesdays (need it to take TIG) and Arc/Stick on Saturday.  Hope to see you there.Adrian
Reply:Hey Bob. Are you in the Saturday classes?
Reply:What kind? Motorcycle, cars, etc?  Actually this is the reason I want to learn to weld.  I want to build my own motorcycle, such as the ducati trellis frame fit with my engine of choice.  Although I'll probably get help from my neighbor who owns 4&6 Cycle shop (race shop).  I'll probably take TIG in fall.Adrian
