          "Learn how to weld at Lynnes Welding Training - West Fargo, ND. We offer MIG (GMAW), ... A division of Dave's Welding and Metal Fabrication, Inc. ..."

          bam!

          and I'm post-whoring, apparently, because I can't think of anywhere else to go just to learn. There's a lot of welding operations around town, might want to look into an apprenticeship somewhere if that's possible. See if you can learn on the job? DMI, other fabrication places.. auto body shops? Good luck, man.

            I walked into DMI and demanded 13.50 when unexperienced people were getting paid 11 and 12. They hired me right away, without question. The class is worth it for the knowledge but mostly for the certificate getting you a job a lot easier.

              Lynnes welding training is the school, Dave's welding is his whole business, but uses the Dave's welding name for his fab shop. he will usually hire his students if you are good.

                            I could hold my own against about anyone in any process, most people think they are such "great" welders but they really dont understand how to set a machine up or even the philosophy behind the different processes

                                  Most of all production shops the welder has only slight control over a machine....

                                  But in the new inverter machines there are so many cool things you can work with it is definately neat.....

                                    i didn't work on a line, I had my own machine with my own tank. DMI isnt really a production sho as each product is so huge we dont have menotenous parts welding.
                                    I welded anywhere from 1/4" to 1 1/2" and trust me, the welder needs to be set right to pass CWB testing.

                                    We went to airgas and there was a lincoln rep showing off the powermig350, that thing was the shit, especially for aluminum.
