Who wants to learn how to weld?

[jimustanguitar]

My dad was a professional welder for many years. He did aluminum frames for truck caps, sealed aluminum pontoons, trailers, etc. MIG, TIG, Arc, stick, Gas, you name it and he's done it.

He likes the idea of coming to hang out and offered to do a little class on how to weld. Anybody interested?

I'm in! I have a pile of projects on my list with "and then I need to weld this, and I haven't welded in 25 years" stopping points baked in.

Yup!

Do we want to plan a Thursday and announce it on Meetup? we have a MIG and a Stick welder at the shop. I could plan on setting up some stuff to practice with.

Yeah, let's plan it and make it a mini event.
We should also make sure that we have a good supply of masks and maybe a screen.
It'd also be nice if it wasn't 100 degrees

Lets discuss it tonight and pick a date. Wouldn't have to be on a Thursday, we could do a special event on a different day.
