Thanks to all for the replies <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Unfortunatly, non of the local Adult Ed schools will admit personal enrichment students (lack of funding was their excuse). I like the idea of stopping by the welding supply store - I'm sure they can point me in the right direction. I'll also ask a "hobby" welder friend of mine where he learned, and maybe he can put me in touch with the right person(s). I did pick up several instructional welding books from the local library this morning, and will purchase a welding DVD from Northern Tool the next time I'm out that way.

I do have a brazing setup, so I understand burn through of thinner metals and lack of integrity on structural stuff. My experience is limited to copper (A/C stuff), so working on steel is a whole new realm for me.

Again, thanks! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
