Another one for the Cleveland/Akron area people-Classes in mig/general?

admin

Are there any community colleges around here that have welding programs? I can probably do alright on my own, but I would really like to learn from someone that can point out mistakes, safety issues, stuff like that. I work nights, so daytime classes are what I need to find. Or a Saturday only type. I know I can do an internet search, but first hand knowledge is better.  Thanks,Russ

We almost had one in Barberton, at AMI. I went there for machine repair thinking I would get experience in repairing CNC's- no such luck! I was asked if I would be interested in teaching a welding class. Everything was going along fine until I explained that they would have to buy enough welders so that each student would have their own. They lost interest after that! --------------john
