Also probably very useful for anyone with a welding project in mind as Chad is very willing to help (and totally cool about managing the $$ outlay.)

  I have never welded prior to this class. The instructor, Chad gave an overview of welding and safety, then showed the class how to make a head of welding. Each student took a turn emulating the weld bead until they got the hang of it. Chad clearly enjoys sharing his craft and is able to make it so it is not too intimidating. We were able to create a small project by the end of the class. Great class!

  Great metal shop overview class: some welding history and methods before a safety briefing and then hands on learning with the MIG welder. Chad spent time working individually with each person. He is a very patient and skilled instructor. After class, he spent extra time with my 15 year old to do some additional work, adding finishing touches. Wonderful experience, signed up for the advanced class immediately.

  Highly recommended for anyone new to or interested in welding. All the specialized safety equipment is provided, but read and obey the dress code. And if you have small hands, I suggest bringing a pair of sturdy leather gloves that fit well.

Chad is a skilled teacher, patient with student questions, and was able to structure his approach to a range of student backgrounds and skill levels. Most importantly for us was that he was able to take the scary looking process of welding and reassure us that we could learn to weld safely and competently.

  Once you walk into the shop and see it, you can already feel that the class will be a great experience--and it was! It started with the history and science of welding so we would know when, how, and why. Each type of welding has a historical and practical application. The context of the process and tools made it easier for me to relate to the practical instructions. Chad did an excellent job of teaching the group of us how to MIG weld. Nobody in the group felt unsafe or exited the class without welding something. Prior to the class I did not know anything and now I am excited to start practicing.
