Leon Armstrong reviewed: One day welding course for two people

"My work colleague and I did this course recently and both thoroughly enjoyed it! We began around 10am, with a chat on the theory and after a couple of demos from Julian we were then more or less straight into getting hands on with practical! Neither of us had any previous experience, but under Julian's tutorage we became quickly confident in using the kit. The day was in no way linear and the pace was good. Julian, tailored the day to our needs and we were able to practice the techniques in ways which would be useful to our daily work. Julian was very patient and obviously very passionate about his trade. It was 7pm before we finished and we were sure Julian would have stayed longer had we wished to do so. Great course led by a great tradesman. Thank you"

Julian Wadsworth - Artist Blacksmith responded:

"Thank you Leon for your great review. You both picked up the skills really well, and I am sure that you will be able to carry out making and welding the light fabrications at work. Any problems or issues then please feel free to get in touch. Julian"

S reviewed: One day welding course: an introduction

"Truly enlightening to learn from a life long artisan, it's encouraging to know that these crafts will be passed down to future generations. Knowing this stuff allows us to try and *build things* with real passion rather than just buy whatever we are fed from factories, home or abroad...."

Julian Wadsworth - Artist Blacksmith responded:

"Thanks Steve for your review, honestly it is nice to be appreciated ! You sped your way through my welding program, and caught the metalworkers bug to boost. Ten out of Ten ."

Doug Smith and Noah Smith reviewed: One day welding course for two people

"This course was booked as a birthday present for my son with both of us doing it. It was a really great day. We covered MIG welding and spent virtually the whole day hands on doing actual welding with Julian demonstrating / instructing / watching at all times. Taking apart the welded joints was very informative and we not know what 'good' should look like. Also covered stick welding at the end of the day. Brilliant course - many thanks Julian. "

Julian Wadsworth - Artist Blacksmith responded:

"Hi Doug and Noah, Thank you for your review. You both did really well picking up the techniques and understanding in constructing good strong welds. It was clear that you have a good eye for technical details and good practical abilities. Pleasure to meet you both and good luck with your projects. Regards,Julian"

Sara & Lefty reviewed: One day welding course for two people

"We had a great day with Julian, he went through all the fundamentals of MIG welding so we understand exactly what we were doing,. He was a great teacher & paced the course to suit us & spent some time at the end going through welds that would be useful for our project. We came away confident that we would be able to tackle the work to our van that has been giving us stress for years. It was so worth attending & we feel proud that we have learnt this skill for ourselves. Thanks Julian."

"I attended the course with the aim to gain confidence and knowledge to use a MIG welder. When I started the course, my welding was not good but by the end of the day, I was producing welds that were strong and tidy. I felt that the course gave me everything necessary to be able to do MIG welding with confidence. Julian is the perfect teacher who clearly has a lifetime of knowledge and experience in welding and black smithing. I really enjoyed working with him. He made the day very special for me and a day that I will never forget. A great guy!"

Paul and Imogen reviewed: One day welding course for two people

"Myself and my wife travelled down from Scotland for this course. Julian is a fantastic teacher and person, his warmth and enthusiasm is infectious. He really took his time to explain to us the theory that underpinned mig welding followed by loads of hands on learning. Felt like we learned so much in one day and came away feeling confident we could have a go at doing some repairs on our old van. Julian also took the time to instruct us on getting our own welder set up that we brought along with us which was really invaluable. Would highly recommend doing a course with Julian. Thank you for a great day. "

Julian Wadsworth - Artist Blacksmith responded:

"Hi Paul and Imogen, it was a great day and you both got to grips with the welding process. I know you will be able to tackle the van. Keep the fusion good and enjoy,all the best, regards, Julian"
