Photos from back in 2011 when I went to school at Lincoln Electric Weld School in Cleveland Ohio - I took Basic Motorsprts. Great School for hardly any money.

Wow! That's quite an exhaust system they have there. Hey what's the deal, I didn't see one blue machine. :laughing:

That is insane... So did this school help in your career?

Mattc8832 · Feb 16, 2014

Yes - great school. I have been a machinist for 15 years. With career changes and changing work loads I had to pick up the welding trade about 7 years ago. I went to many local schools and then decided to attend Lincoln Electric for Tig and Mig Training. I 've taken 3 one week classes there. I took Mig / GMAW 2 times and Basic Motorsports once - it covered mostly Tig GTAW Stainless and Aluminum.

Surprised you could take pictures there or they didn't know you took them. From everything I've heard, security at Lincoln is tighter than Fort Knox and you can't go anywhere without an escort. Looks pretty impressive but be afraid, very afraid... you never when you're going to get that knock on the door from the LFI.

Not sure on pics weather you can take them or not - but it is a top notch facility with excellent instructors and lots of materials to work with. I just wanted to show people that it is a top facility and you will not go wrong going to school there if your looking for weld training. I 've heard good things about Hobart also but I've never been there. Here in WV a lot of people go to Hobart because they are better known in my area. I'm always trying to get people to tour Lincoln and give the school a chance.

I've heard Lincoln has a really nice pipe welding course too.

Lanse/Chuck went to Lincoln when he was looking for a course. He's one of the ones they didn't make a very good first impression on. I'm not sure but I don't think he could take pictures. I'm certain they have excellent courses as does Hobart.
