Nathan is well organized, packs a lot if info into two hours... all seven of us students were able to try our hand at welding. If you have ever wondered about learning welding but did not know where to start, this is the intro class for you. ENJOY!

    The Machine Shop Basics class was so informative and fun, all thanks to the great instructor Nathan.

    Nathan was very organized, on point and was wonderful at explaining the different roles of the machines and how they work together. Hands-on is what I was looking for and Nathan did not disappoint, as I fabricated from aluminum bar a die (half of a pair of dice). By using the dice tutorial we were able to use hand tools, CNC and have something to take home.

    Be sure not to miss this class as you will look at your surroundings completely different after Nathan schools you in Machine Shop Basics.

    As a person who teaches adults for a living I was probably overly critical of the style of teaching. I felt like too much time was spent talking and not enough time doing. Especially since a lot of the talking was referring to concepts with which the listener was assumed to be familiar. If you want to start at the beginning like the listener knows nothing (which most didn't) then you should also define all the terms to are introducing. This was especially unfortunate since Nick really excelled at the part where he was coaching each user through an actual weld. He was excellent at telling the student what was and wasn't working while they were doing it so they could correct it right away. A shorter synopsis of the type of welding we were going to do, and the other types that exist and then get people to practice would be awesome. All said I think people like the class but the class in it's current format doesn't highlight Nick's strengths in my opinion.
