The vendors at OSH had lots of workshops. Would that
be a source of instruction? How about the local community
college?
Certainly,
anything you can get will be helpful, particularly if it's free :-)
I looked into the typical class that you can get locally, and none of them
really appealed to me. They more or less have to teach you the history,
basics, and techniques for every type of welding
ever created. I'm really only interested in TIG, and
only as it relates to the typical jobs required for aircraft construction.
That's why the SportAir workshop was appealing. It only covered 4130, and
aluminum TIG welding. Now that
I've practiced a bit, with some success, I think I can probably get more for my
$350 if I use it to buy argon, filler wire, and scrap metal to practice
with.
Rusty (can't
wait to try cast aluminum)
