Hello everyone. I have a great interest in getting into welding metal for both fabrication and sculpture. I have "single shop class in eighth grade 2 weeks of welding" experience (spot welding and oxy/acetyl welding). I am looking for somewhere/someone I can get some instruction from. I have looked into the community college in town and they offer welding associate degrees but no welding non-credit courses. I don't want to spend 5 years of a single audited class a semester to learn about this, just a push in the right direction, some safety information, and advice.
My brother lives in Bozeman MT and there are a couple of Blacksmiths up there that offer their shops and instruction on a couple Saturdays a month open to the public. Wondering if there is anything like this available in Southern Arizona.
Any feedback/advice/pointing and laughing is much appreciated
Thanks, Justin
