Awesome opportunity and a great thing for our hobby-Thanks!

Will you have a display at the Colorado Goodguys or a car/truck? Auto X?
I'll definitely be going since it's near. It would be great to see your work in person.

It sounds like this is for guys who already have a decent skill-set and jut want to go to that next level? I have a nice tig, know how to turn it on but that's about it. I'd still think about coming just for the experience and camaraderie. I bet those 12 spots fill up quick.

It's used to destroy expensive parts that need to be joined via a metal melting process.

My plan was to figure out the skill level of those guys who wanted to come and put them with guys who would be good teachers in that sector. Jason expressed interest in learning to TIG weld heavier metals and different alloys, So I would put him with an old employee of mine who is returning that can weld everything - well. I think Mario would be best to work with Brycen or Henry in on how to TIG weld sheetmetal.

This class would be good for guy to that can TIG weld well enough to keep the tungston out of the puddle. It may not be a row of dimes coming out from under the torch but teaching someone how to sharpen tungston for 16 hours would be a long weekend. But if that is where you at, bring it on. In reality this is a class for a guy who is getting started, they might have a machine they have used or have access to a machine. They have all the stuff but can't get it to work, yet.

But if you know the class is coming you might work on getting some practice before of just how to " WALK THE CUP". But if somebody wants to learn other things just speak up. We can work something out for you no problem.

I've got about 40-50p hours of TIG welding practice (not that it means I know anything), what would you suggest for your classes? Maybe joining Mario with Brycen or Henry.

If your desire is to work on sheetmetal. Yes

If you want to work on other materials and thicker stuff I have another plan.

I'm kind of waiting till I get a full class and then spilt people up accordingly then.

You sound like perfect guy who wants to improve his skills
