I did not know what to expect and it exceeded everything I could have imagined. As a gift to yourself or for the curious - DO IT! Thanks Chris and Matt.

Great experience. We had so much fun, my oldest son (college grad) and I. We both learned how to weld and we made beautiful boxes from scrap that turned into pieces of art. I learned so much about what I had been doing wrong and by the end of the day was laying down dimes. Fun and pleasant experience.

Excellent MIG welding course and a great instructor. Small class size so each student gets one on one training. A welder for every student and more than enough tools to go around so it is 100 percent hands on. A full day of work and we only stopped for a quick lunch. The workshop is amazing, loaded with every metal and wood working tool and machine imaginable.

This class was all it promised. Chris was clear, articulate and well prepared for teaching. I came away with what I wanted plus a steel cube! I would definitely take another lass if he offered one.

A great introduction to the basics of MIG welding. The class size was small and there were two instructors both of whom were very knowledgeable and personable. They also provided a welcoming space for women who are looking to learn MIG welding. We were instructed on safety as well as correct technique and machine usage. The metal shop was well maintained and well supplied including a number of different welding machines - brands and voltages - to try. All supplies were provided including lunch.

Attended mig welding class given by Chris and Matt. Class is limited to 4 students, giving each student lots of individual attention. The instructors were knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and patient. I highly recommend this class. I never welded before and now feel I could do some basic welding.

Great experience and loved the the professionalism. First time welding and will weld again. Needed someone to show me the ropes plus other awesome tools to work with. All hands on deck workshop with every tool possible and no limits except your imagination. A must do if you like any tool or think your handy. If your none of those great place to learn. Good instruction and you do everything which is awesome. I'm taking home my custom stool.
