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

[Greg Brown]

No equipment yet, but I was eyeballing the portable 110v mig welders
so I could drag them to an install fairly easily.  That said I could
get a Premier Power Welder installed in my Jeep all the same for arc
welding.

Going back a couple posts I think I saw that mig and tig classes were
discontinued at Wake Tech and I have never seen them at Durham Tech. 
So I thought I'd ask the group.  There always seems to be someone who
knows anything on this list. :)
