Welding and fabrication course

Post by timwilks13 » Fri Sep 27, 2013 10:55 am

Just signed up to an evening welding and fabrication course at a local college in scarborough, £150, runs for a year in term time, and will just mean for a 3 hours a week i will have access to a whole workshop of decent machines, mills, welders, lathes etc, hopefully a good chance to learn a decent thing or two and get some bits made for the SJ, wish me luck!
