The arc welding course (which I also took, yesterday) is offered at very rare intervals from the shopmaster at the Mech E machine shop at UW. It is taught pretty much by popular request and at his convenience. It was pretty much a 2-hour intro to arc welding, in which Russ explained the general technique of stick welding, demonstrated machine settings and equipment (how to hold a stick, how not to weld your electrode to the table), and gave everyone a chance to make a few welds on scrap metal. The shop has TIG and MIG machines, but he doesn't teach those methods; we'll have to ask SAE very nicely about that.

No arcburn for me, I was wearing long sleeves. :(
