do you have a university in your town. i had a class at NAU when i lived in
flagstaff. i learned to weld in the okla oil patch. i was so suprised to learn

learned a lot of wrong stuff. check it out at the colleges or adult learning
centers around town. the classes are cheap from free to about 300 bucks
