Yup. I bought an open box, never used Hobart Handler 190 on Amazon for $518. Jeff can be the welding instructor at future wrenchfests

Tried that once, Monitor burned out the first time I hit it with the torch...

Im sure I wont surpass the masters anytime soon but I will be nice to know how to do it properly....

that's the going rate for those classes and when you think of it as ~$10/hour? It's not bad. And that cost includes all the consumables. It's not for everyone but for some, it's a fair deal

I paid $180 for a 10 week (one three -hour session per week) course at South Shore VocTech in Hanover a couple of years ago.

Current price is $240

Not bad Don! Wish it was closer, over an hour 15min from me without traffic. Lexington is closer.... maybe someone else can take advantage of that though...
