I know i'm the only welder here, but other trades and fields weld too.
for anyone who does weld (mechanics, plumbers, fencing and railing, carpenters) or who wants to learn (weekend warriors and the interested), there's a seminar coming up.
A welding education body is holding it at the Clocktower Pub on Bank, December 2nd 6PM. Tickets are $35, $20 for students. Dinner included. I can get the tickets through our supplier.
Focus will be on dealing with cast iron, mild steel, steel alloys, and hardfacing. Don't be intimidated, this is not only for people who are already welders. These are geared towards all ranges of experience.
I'm being sent, like homework, so i thought i'd just throw this out there and see if anyone else is interested in learning some of it.
give it a try!
