[TriLUG] way WAY WAY OT: need some welding lessons

[Dave Sorenson]

I did a quick lookup and <SHAMELESS EMPLOYER PLUG ALERT> Durhamtech has 
a number of welding courses 
http://www.durhamtech.edu/html/prospective/coursedescriptions/wldcd.htm 
these are credit classes so may be more than you want/ need to take to 
learn how to stick 2 pieces of metal together. I did some further 
checking and found out DT will be offering a non credit version of the 
classes next summer. </SHAMELESS EMPLOYER PLUG ALERT>Let me know if you 
would like more info.
