I was thinking about modern welding school… I need to look into it more… I already know how to MIG/tig pretty well. Too many details to get into right now 
modern welding!
I have never seen you weld, or anything that you have welded?
Mohawk valley has for more superior program for weldin and it has a machinist course rolled into…
FUCK MODERN LETERALLY !!! saver ur monies.
Hooked on 240, can you weld some mig weld some Aluminum piping for me, I have everything needed.
Ya, i remember your views on modern. ALOT of people have told me to save my money. You know how long the course is?
If i had time. I dont even have time to mount my new exhaust/fix my hatch rust hole/etc. And now my tranny is leaking fluid out the rear seal GREAT! If your serious text me sometime. i could proably swing up there.
I mean dont get me wrong. modern is ok. but they way they do it , it’s like ur just practicing for a test constantly. it’s DEFINATELY training for real world work.
i know nothing will ever get u fully trained to get out in the field . but like i said the more geared for teaching u to pass a test. just cause u can pass a test doesn’t mean u can weld…
i can explain better . but i suck at typing and it takes me forever. but hopefully u get the point.
I’ll probably get it TIG welded, looks cleaner.
Got’cha. Ill read into it more. hopefully i have it all figured out befor e months end.
i got some aluminum stick welding rod i would love try out on some pipe.:rofl
feel fre to stop by i can explain it better to ya. or maybe the next time i drive by ur hous and ur feet r hangin out the car i’ll jut grab them at say 30 ish or so. :rofl
:lol
A buddy of mine went to Modern Welding School. He just graduated actually. He enjoyed it but there was a TON of testing. They helped place him with a job right out of the school too. Even before he was done with the program they had already lined him up with his job.
just try and climb the dsm :rofl
:facepalm
:haha
:rofl
:rofl :Idiots
what ?:ponder
First ask yourself what you plan to do with the welding knowledge you will learn.
Looking for knowledge to become a better welder? Looking to get a small fabrication welding job? Are you planning DOT or structural work? Submerged arc desire?
I say this because depending on what you want to do, there’s different plans of attack. If you’re just looking to become a better welder, or even just get a small time fabrication job…forget getting a degree. Take the money you’d otherwise spend and go buy a GOOD welding setup. Teach yourself, or buy books/videos/read. If you’re so up to throwing money for lesson, beg me and I’ll teach you for a fee :lol
Point is unless you’re going for a full on contract welding career going to “school” for welding is not the best approach. I agree with Hank…Modern is a waste.
I’m a trained and AWS certified structural welder/weld inspector, but HATE contract welding. Hate it. So I do what I do now with the knowledge I gained but alot of what I learned I don’t apply to my work(not necessary) and as such it was money that could have been spent better.
Just food for thought.
Yup, this makes perfect sense. :Idiots.
I was thinking the exact same, job wise. I should of just came down to hunts and bugged you. or walked to hanks and jumped on his tig and did my exhaust already 
you and hank are pretty much the only “pros” on here… kinda figured id get b.s responses to a question i ask.
Hunts is not the best place to “bug” me as if I’m there I’m typically right into something major for Dave and on a tight time schedule, or running the machines for my own work. I have no problem giving you a few lessons when things loosen up a bit here at the garage in the schedule. I suggest buying a good TGAW book and do some technical reading, get some aspects of it down first especially in prep work. Only thing you’d need to bring here is a comfortable pair of gloves, proper clothing, and some $$$ for any consumables you use in the process(s.gas, filler, etc).
