Myles Jackson reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"Fantastic I cannot recommend this one to one welding course, hosted by Tony enough. Having turned up a complete novice, he talked me through all of the steps of mig welding and within no time at all I was managing to perform a range of types of welds. I cannot believe how much I learnt in the day. Absolute champion! Thanks again, Tony!"

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

Simon Smith reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"Fantastic one day course that got me up and running with MIG welding having never done it before. Tony is an exceptional trainer, combining the technical and practical aspects of welding, from how the machine works and should be set up to the techniques for different joints and the hand eye coordination required to perfect the weld. We practiced seam welds for a variety of joint types, diagnosing how to improve after each one. Being 1 to 1, you get all of Tony’s attention and feedback on each piece throughout the day. I had considered evening classes but this was a much better option for me, being intensive and personal tuition. Progression was rapid and I now know how to improve through my own practice and self assessment of each weld. I’ve attached a photo of one of my better examples from the day. Thoroughly recommend. Simon . "

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Hi Simon, I am pleased that you enjoyed the course and will continue welding in the future. Any issues or questions please feel free to contact me. Regards Tony "

Jonathan Furningur reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"Absolutely brilliant. As a complete novice I can't recommend this course highly enough. I had bought a MIG welder a couple of years ago and despite watching several YouTube videos was never able to get the hang of it. Tony is an excellent teacher and all the learning was 1-2-1. The day was extremely interactive, Tony would demonstrate different types of welds then let me have several attempts, each time giving me pointers on how to improve. The difference between my first weld and my last at the end of the day was amazing. No stress, and a very enjoyable day. Thoroughly recommended."

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Thank you Jonathan for your kind review, I am pleased that you enjoyed the course and will continue practicing at home with your own welding equipment.Any questions please feel free to call me.Regards Tony "

Paul Townsend reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"I have had a MIG welder for quite a few years now and use it very occasionally on DIY projects. However, despite watching all the you-tube video’s etc. I always struggled to weld to my satisfaction. My wife bought me a day’s course with Tony and what a difference this made. I now understand so much more with Tony’s excellent instructions and I feel I have a sound basic knowledge to move forward, instead of not knowing the right from wrong way of proceeding. He made the day so enjoyable; I would absolutely recommend Tony and his welding course."

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Thank you Paul for your kind review it’s is greatly appreciated. Continue practicing what you have learned and you will be fine. Keep me posted on any future projects and if I can help you with anything please feel free to contact me. Regards Tony "

Andy Hooper reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"Had a great day, Tony greeted us in a cheerful friendly manner which set the tone for the day. After a clear explanation of the safety and welding equipment we quickly progressed with trying to tackle our first welds. Tony's encouragement and guidance was brilliant, we tried a fair number of different welds progressing in difficulty. But it wasn't until the end of the day when we went back to the first type of weld that we realised the progress made. A thoroughly enjoyable and informative day! "

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Hi Andy & Josh. Thank you for your kind review. It was a pleasure meeting you both and I am glad that you enjoyed the welding and I hope you will continue developing your skills in the future when you purchase your own equipment. If I can help you with anything in the future please feel free to contact me. Kind regards Tony."

Richard Brimmell reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"As a beginner to welding, I booked Tony’s 1-2-1 course, hoping to gain enough knowledge to safely carry out basic welding at home. Tony explained what the day involved, the equipment that we’d be using, as well as the safety requirements. Before long, I was shown how to carry out a range of different welds and had plenty of opportunity to practise. Tony’s knowledge and depth of experience was key and he presented the tuition in a structured manner, without formality. I found the day very informative and interesting and I came away with the motivation to start welding at home My expectations were more than satisfied. Thank you Tony, I have no hesitation in recommending your course. "

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Hi Richard, Thank you for your kind review it is greatly appreciated. I am very happy that you enjoyed the course and gained enough knowledge and confidence to carry on welding at home. If I can help you with anything in the future please feel free to contact me. Regards Tony "

Stephen Peerman reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"Attended the ‘Mig Welding for Beginners Introductory Day Course’ today, what a pleasure. Despite numerous hours watching online You Tube videos; it is not until the theory is put in to practice that the MIG process very quickly becomes less daunting. Tony with years of experience in both welding and teaching very quickly gets the novice up and running. I would estimate that over the day 2% is demonstration by Tony and the other 98% is ‘hands-on’ by the student. At the end of the day, which passes very quickly, I felt ready to invest in my own MIG and confident that I would be able to weld to an acceptable standard, albeit not as neat as Tony’s. Thank you for your time and advice, a worthwhile course. "

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Thank you Stephen for your very kind review it is much appreciated . I am extremely pleased that you enjoyed your time with me on the welding course and gained the confidence to move forward and purchase your own welding equipment. Please keep me updated and feel free to contact me in the future with any questions or advice . Regards Tony "

Patrick P reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"I had a welding course with Tony today and couldn’t have asked for more, he covered the essentials then quickly got me started on my first MIG welds. The pace of the session was perfect and allowed me to progress at a decent rate. I was also given a lot of practical advice on which equipment to look for as I’ll be buying my own welding kit very soon. I’d recommend Tony’s training day to anyone looking to have a go at welding or starting the journey into high quality fabrication."

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Thank you Patrick for the review it is greatly appreciated. You have the ability to continue developing your skills welding with practice and I look forward to hearing from you in the future with updates on your metal fabrication project’s.. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further assistance. Regards Tony "

Mike R reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"A great days training with Tony. Very relaxed. Great instruction and company throughout the session! Patience of a saint from my "Mig Blobbing" to far better welds at the end of the day. Different metal thickness welding and setups. Horizontal Flat overlap. Internal and external edge welds at 90 both horizontal and vertical welds. Plus many other tips and instruction. Feel confident I can make a strong weld but just need more practice in my own time to make "Pretty Welds". Thanks again Tony. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Highly recommend to anyone starting out or who wants to take it to a next level "

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Hi Mike thank you for your kind review, it was a pleasure meeting you.
