Welding beginner in Gloucester.

[WelderGuy34]

Hi, I am new to this forum but thought I would join up.

I really want to learn how to weld and would like to learn from someone who knows what they are talking about. I want to buy an old mini and completely restore it, it has been a dream of mine for a couple of years now but I think being able to do my own welding would help a huge amount! I'm a complete novice but am a very good learner so if anyone in the gloucestershire area could help me then I would be hugely grateful.

Also, if anyone reading this knows of anyone who can help, please let me know, I would appreciate it a hell of alot and would be happy to pay for someones time and materials if needs be.

Thanks, Guy.

Can't say I'm much of an expert, but I could probably point you in the right direction. Have you got a welder and stuff etc....?
I'm in Glos, whereabouts are you?

Also check out the Gloucestershire mini owners club. Not very active on the fourm at the moment, but usually turn up to a few shows and meet regularly at the pub!

Gloucestershire College

Hi Guy,
I am new to welding too. I started a course at Gloucestershire college last week called "Introduction to welding Course(code 6670/10-so6)". It is a six week course, 3 hours a night once a week(18 hours total). The students all have different goals, mostly work related. We can choose what types of welding we want to learn. I, like yourself, am interested in car restoration and have chosen Mig and Tig.
It may be worth looking up on the College web site when the next course is.
Regards
Andy
