After having failed again at trying to teach myself to weld, I found getting a class for a hobbyist wasn't easy. Finally, I found Aaron and the Tarrant County MakerSpace. I am so glad I did.
From the first communication, Aaron was great. After I signed up for the Saturday MiG class, he sent a series of links to videos covering the basics. The he called to make sure we were on the same page and I was prepared. When the day arrived, I knew enough to understand what we were doing.
The class was set up near perfectly and the project, a charcoal grill, was very well designed to reinforce the stuff we covered in the morning. By the end of the day, my off-hand welds look better than my best attempts before the class with my strong hand. I left with a grill, the understanding how to do basic welds, and the confidence that these would hold.
I can't recommend this class strongly enough.
