“Hello Garrett, Yes, I am very pleased with both courses. Being totally inexperienced with MIG welding, the beginners course was very informative and helpful. I also learned a lot from the advanced fabrication course. I haven't had an opportunity to put this knowledge into motion yet, my MIG equipment will arrive later this week.”

“There is a wealth of great information here. This course was definitely worth the money! It has helped me considerably on my first major project. The steel railings on my back porch have rusted at the bottom badly. With the confidence from this course I was able to cut out the bad sections and weld in new sections. Overall this really is a great course and I haven't even gotten into the bonus videos yet. *Click to read disclaimer”

“I was not sure about this course when signing up for it. I wanted to understand MIG welding, setting up, potential difficulties etc. I could have gone to a local college and that would have cost a lot more money than this course, plus travel etc. So I decided to sign up for Garret's course. I must say first that it is excellent. I have not been through all the videos yet but have already learnt so much. I speak to friends now, that have some experience in welding and I now realise that some of them do not fully understand MIG welding. I am truly surprised that this course has got me up and running so quickly. I would also add that a first time person wanting to purchase a MIG welder should hold off until they have taken this course. It is full of very detailed and clearly explained advice and knowledge that has really helped me to make sense of what to look for in a MIG welder. On a technical point - the videos are well structured and not too long and there is also a facility for each video to be downloaded on to your local machine for future reference. A great feature as my Broadband bandwidth is crap. Well done Garret and thanks so much for sharing your experience and knowledge so succinctly. It is a great course and I am really pleased that I signed up for it.”

“Garrett, First let me tell you how pleased I am with the money I spent for your intro to welding program. I am very sceptical of these types of offers because I have been disappointed in the past, but your videos are really good. At first I was not sure about the short length of each video, but now I kind of like it, as it makes it easy to find a specific topic without having to go through a long video to get to it. I just purchased my first mig welder. I would very much like to get your advanced program, but I have run out of funds for this paycheck. I hope the offer will still be there when I get paid in two weeks. Thanks again!”

“I'm new to welding and very happy that I found your site. I'm a "hands on" type of guy and if something breaks or needs repaired then I try to fix it myself. I'm on YouTube doing research if I'm not for certain on how to fix it. Anyway, I've always wanted to learn how to weld and by accident I came across your site. Very informative information for the beginner. Like anything that's new you have to practice, but you need a good foundation first. This is the foundation that I was looking for and I'm ready to weld! I was actually thinking about taking a welding class at a Junior College in my area many years ago, but I never did due to work and family. Glad I came across your course. This is what I needed! Thanks Garrett!!!”

“A very good and informative course. I have not welded in a very long time, and that was with stick welding. I have just now purchased a Lincoln Electric 180 dual mig welder (110-220V). It was always very messy (slag & spatter) probably because I didn't know proper electrode sizes and heat ranges. Your courses have helped fill a lot of blanks for me with proper techniques, heat/material thickness settings, layout and fabrication information. I have completed my first project with my Lincoln mig welder, however it was flux core because I haven't purchase the argon cylinder yet. My first project was a weld cart. I had watched others build there's and then I watched you building one. My plans came about from a number of ideas from a number of people. I created a two level cart because I have an old Lincoln 225 cracker box (stick) welder and my new Lincoln welder. My cart has turned out much better than I thought it would, especially considering it was with flux core.Many thanks to Garrett's teaching and instructional videos. I will continue with his teaching to further improve my welding techniques and to help make my projects a much better outcome! Thanks again! Gary”

“I have not welded in a very long time, and that was with oxy/acetelyne. I am just now purchasing a Miller 141 welder (110V) and intend to use it in the restoration of a 1965 Corvair. For example, I need to replace all 4 quarter-panels. I have perused many web tips on MIG welding, but having completed Garrett's course, I have much more confidence to proceed. I will practice much, of course, before making my first tack weld on the car. (Maybe we can get Garrett to put together an auto-body panel-welding tutorial, as well. That would be grand.) Anyway, I heartily recommend the MakeMoneyWelding courses.”

“I give the coarse 5 Stars but would give it 10 if I could. I knew little to nothing about welding but wanted to start making some Yard Art and furniture. Bought the welder and ran across Garrett's program on YouTube. I thought the sign up process was a little confusing - could be simplified. I felt a little like the late night vacuum sales pitch and it made me nervous but for the price I decided to give it a try and IT IS THE BEST tutorial I have seen. I would learn a few things and go running to the garage to try them out. After each video you can write comments or ask questions and Garrett gets right back to you. I don't think Garrett lets his coarse go stagnant, it is not just running and collecting $$ like a lot of web sites do. I have only belonged for a couple weeks but looks like he updates and improves the videos and takes comments seriously. He is a good teacher, explains things well. I really do not have any negatives about the course, not sure where I would have been without it. Thank You!!”

“Hey Garrett, Very good course! I had taken another on-line welding course that I paid $199 for, and got nothing but frustration out of it. I was just about to give up and sell my MIG welder on craigslist when I came across your course. After watching your promo videos and reading the reviews, I figured I would give it a shot. It was money well spent! Your simplistic approach and "behind the lens" videos taught me what I needed to do. I watched the videos over a two day span, and went out to the garage to practice and was laying down some impressive beads. What you teach and how you teach it, just makes sense. Instead of selling my MIG welder, I am now looking forward to making projects. Wish I would have found you earlier! Thank-you!!”

Garrett covers every nut and bolt

“I am totally new to welding. I have done a little torch brazing on bicycle frames but that is about it. I am overweight so I thought that I would build a recummbent tricycle frame so that I could ride. I started with no weld plans but moved to low temperature gas aluminum soldering/brazing. My frame is sort of cobbled together but there are filler rod puddles and drips everywhere and some of the parts are actually melted. It is hugely frustrating when the parts that you brazed before start to melt apart when you work on the other side of the joint. And it takes forever to do (15-25 minutes to get hot enough to melt the filler rod). I think that it is time to move on from gas brazing to MIG. Garrett's course is great because he takes that time to cover every nut and bolt of the process. The low temperature gas aluminum brazing actually worked very well when only joining two pieces of aluminum together but is horrible when you try to work on a vertical joint. I am looking forward to the rest of Garrett's course. Thanks.”

Can't get started on my welding just yet as the all important Helmet has not yet turned up.

“Hi Garrett, Excellent course!!! I went through all modules in a week. I liked how each module in broken down in short videos. It made the information easy to understand and go back over again with ease if needed. I liked when you showed the welding procedures done behind the welders shield best, it made it easier to see the weld bead. I am a lot more comfortable now with the whole process, from start to finish. My first project will be to fix my fathers skid plates on his snow plow before we get a big snow storm. Thanks”

S I got machine set up to try as a mig after some messinge with flux core some, I swapped the leads and proceeded to lay some beads, it came back quickly, but something wasn't right, well some checking revealed that the machine came set up for mig, that may explain the slightly erratic flux core operation too, after swapping the leads I laid another bead, it was perfect.”

“Hello Garrett, yes, of course, I would be happy to allow you to share my story. I started out in the early 80’s completing a master diploma in gunsmithing. Had a great time doing this. As it became more and more difficult to continue this in Canada, I switched to repairing instruments. I became a violin and cello and fretted string instrument luthier. Working in wood is great but I missed the challenge of metal working. Thus, some years ago I added a smaller metal lathe and milling machine to my shop setup. Instant happiness. I recently decided to relearn what I have been missing with welding. I built a very nice propane fired foundry and forge. It works wonderfully and I enjoy a bit of blacksmithing. It was most timely to buy a welder due to the superb help from Garrett’s 90 minute MIG welding course. I have also purchased the next advanced course and will soon be onto that. With Garretts help, I finally purchased a new Lincoln 140 unit complete with gas gauges and hoses. Next step will be to buy a gun for aluminum wire. I have started to teach my 28 year old son how to use the forge for making knives. He is most excited that I am setting up for steel and aluminum welding as he is going to repair our 18 foot aluminum trailer himself. This has been great to have something my son and grandson will be able to learn. We shall have the fun of working together. I taught high school for 36 years. I can attest to the well designed and delivered welding video clips. Very easy to learn from. The specific projects in the advanced program are excellent too. Very well done Garrett.”
