Please check out this video if you own a wood stove and want to see how to inspect your Class A chimney. This video shows you a look at my chimney in the fall and in the winter.
Welding training programs cost $5,000-$15,000 at community colleges or technical schools. Programs may last two years and typically culminate in a certificate of completion. For example, Modern Welding School in Schenectady, N.Y., offers a three-month welding program for $6,000, which includes tuition, fees and materials.
This welding certification comes in two thicknesses. First the 3/8 inch plate and the second is a 1 inch plate. The test I am taking is the 3/8 inch plate test and it is the limited thickness procedure. It certifies you to weld plate from 1/8 to 3/4 of an inch thick. Personally if I had a choice, I would go with the one inch thick procedure.
