    Corrina and Elise were great. They answered all of my questions as well as the others in the class. After attending I am confident I can attempt it on my own without electrocuting myself or burning the house down. If you have any questions or concerns about welding this would be a good class to learn the basics in a safe environment with a professional instructor. It is much harder than what you think or see on TV.
