There's no reason for this to be a continuing hole in my skill set. Got a couple projects that could substantially benefit from me doing this myself (legitly), anywhere around here offer a crash-course/certification? I go to state but can't seem to find anything about it, or even Wake Tech for that matter for non-enrolled students

Definitely something about it with Wake Tech, I'm thinking about taking some "life skill set" courses like welding at Wake Tech on the side.

the Welding classes at Wake Tech fill up fast, and they are only at the main campus.

you learn how to weld in BAE 201

they taught arc and oxyacetalene welding in TED110 or whatever it is now. When I took it it was Metals and there was a separate wood process class. They've since combined the curriculum and it's now materials or something like that. I'm not sure if welding is still part of the curriculum or not, but it may be worth looking into.

It's not enough to be an expert, but it certainly covers the basics.

I took welding at Wake Tech several years ago. The intro class taught oxy-acetylene and a bit of mig. If you have anyone who can show you the ropes, I don't think it's worth going for a whole semester unless you're planning some big projects.

Yeah I've got a couple buddies I could learn from if it comes to it, id just rather learn "proper" technique first..I'll look harder into wake tech
