Natasha Hall reviewed: One day welding course: an introduction

"I absolutely loved this course. Julian was a great teacher who was able to explain all the different techniques in a simplified manner. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge with welding and blacksmithing and I was able to do a lot of practising using MIG weld. I'm really happy I was able to do this course and I hope to do it again. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to try welding first-hand. You won't be disappointed."

Julian Wadsworth - Artist Blacksmith responded:

"Thanks Natasha for your great review. You were an excellent student , picking up the techniques really well. Attention to detail and a good level of craft. It would be good to follow this initial training with a project, putting your new skills into practice. Any thoughts ? Best Regards,Julian"

Eren. O reviewed: One day welding course: an introduction

"Great value for money course and a great teacher. Was willing to work with me and make the course relevant to my needs and desire to do welding work on my van. Highly knowledgeable and very experienced. Went out of the way to show me what to do and did not rush the learning - but also did not hold back on pushing me to do better either - best of both worlds. I'd genuinely recommend this course to anyone looking to learn welding. Probably would get more hands on experience doing this than a "Pro Welding" Course. Thank you for your support and I look forward to the future. "

Julian Wadsworth - Artist Blacksmith responded:

"Thank you Eren for your great review. I am really happy to know the course has worked for you. It's no problem if you need to get in touch about the welding or machinery , or come back for another session sometime. It was a pleasure to meet you and give you this training. Best Regards, Julian"

Mal Campbell reviewed: One day welding course: an introduction

"This course was just brilliant. Julian strikes exactly the right balance between making sure you understand what process is going on alongside learning practical skills. Clear instructions and advice , patient and encouraging . I couldn’t fault it. He’s also just a really interesting person to chat to as well as being skilled in his field but also the ability to teach others. I learned so much in just one day. Thank you, "

Julian Wadsworth - Artist Blacksmith responded:

"Thank you Mal for your review. I am pleased you found the day to be worthwhile and enjoyable. It was a pleasure to meet you and I am sure that your new welding skills will be very use full and creative. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any little snags or need some advice. Best Regards,Julian"

Tom Williams reviewed: One day welding course: an introduction

"What a fantastic day with Julian. The pace of the course was excellent and we got through plenty of examples. Julian's knowledge of all things metal is second to none and alongside the physical practice welding, he helped with all manner of things such as setup, what equipment to buy, to prep and clean. Highly recommended. "

Julian Wadsworth - Artist Blacksmith responded:

"Hi Tom,thank you for your great review. Do feel free to get in touch if there are any little questions about your welding or machinery/kit. Best Regards,Julian"

Chris D reviewed: One day welding course: an introduction

"This was a really great course and Julian is a very engaging instructor. We covered a lot of ground and I feel much more confident about setting out to do "hobby" welding. Julian also provided advice of equipment, materials and small tools and various bit'n'bobs that make life easier. Strongly recommended!"

Julian Wadsworth - Artist Blacksmith responded:

"Thank you Chris , I am pleased to hear that the course has given you that boost of confidence. I know you will be able to set out on your projects, happy and strong welding ahead!"

Alf Sprogis reviewed: One day welding course: an introduction

"This course exceeded my expectations by far. Julian is an excellent tutor and definitely knows his craft. Great discussions throughout the day with more than enough "hands-on". Because my engineering apprenticeship was in aircraft engineering we were never taught to weld. I have taught myself over the years to basically "stick" metal together (badly) but managed to get by. After spending the day with Julian I now have a good understanding of the "science" behind what happens when we weld. Plus the practical skills to carry out the task and how to adjust the technique for different orientations. I strongly recommend this course to anyone seeking a condensed course that will end with the ability to do basic fabrication or vehicle repair. I'm sure now all I need is to practice what I've learned to perfect my techniques. Thanks for a great day. I'm sure once I've had some practice I'll be booking another course with Julian to further upskill. "

Julian Wadsworth - Artist Blacksmith responded:

"Thank you Alf for your review. Pleased you found the course so helpful and informative. It was really good to meet you and hear about your engineering and technical work. I am really happy to have such good feedback from a person with such technical wealth and knowledge. Good to meet you. Regards, Julian"

Al Hartley reviewed: One day welding course: an introduction

"Amazing!!! Best course I have done in a long time , Julian is a master of his trade and a fantastic teacher, excellent approach to learning and flexible too. He is very easy to converse with and has a wealth of knowledge in many areas; I was able to leave not only with the skills I required but also a deeper subject as a whole. I cannot recommend this man and his courses enough. "

Julian Wadsworth - Artist Blacksmith responded:

"Thank you Al for your great feedback review. You really picked up the welding skills and I am sure you won't have any problems. If you need to ask any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Good luck with your future projects and cabin build. Regards, Julian"

Ash Higgins reviewed: One day welding course: an introduction

"Julian is a lovely man, such a wealth of knowledge and his sole aim is to pass on that wisdom to his students. I found the theory and demonstrations hugely helpful to understand the core concepts and once I was ready Julian was patient enough to allow me several attempts to perfect the weld. His methods for teaching are second to none, whether it be MIG OR stick, and whatever you are expecting to gain from this course, by the end of the day you will have achieved your goals. Thank you Julian for a genuinely fantastic day, you have dispelled myths, grown my confidence and furnished me with a sound understanding of what it is to weld. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who would like to fundamentally understand and then apply knowledge of welding in a practical setting. "

Julian Wadsworth - Artist Blacksmith responded:

"Thankyou Ash, I am really happy that you found the instruction so comprehensive. Come back to me if you need any advice on welding or any machines that you fancy buying.Good luck with your projects. Many thanks,Julian"
