Denver/Boulder Frame Welding Classes

Doin' TIG, brazing, Mig? What type of welding?

Henry James sells most of the stuff you need to get started with lugged brazing. Talk to Hank.

I found that brazing is the easy part. Cutting, filing, building a jig, getting everything aligned and fitted well, etc... are what's difficult.

I started with a practice "kit" that has lugs and some tubing to practice with.

You can also get tubing and supplies from Aircraft Spruce Supply.

They also have carbon fiber lay-up supplies at Aircraft Spruce.

Most of the stuff from airplane welding cross over into bikes... a.k.a Wright Brothers.

Oh yeah, try Yamaguchi. He used to teach also. Or maybe Eric Barr at Ground-up Cycles.

If anyone is still listening to this thread...

I raised my rate for the following reasons;

1) As Golden Boy pionted out, the class went from 3 to 5 days.
2) The cost of the tube set is now included
3) A Chris King head set is included

It's still a 1 on 1 class with no distractions. You're not going to take anyones class and open a frame business the next day. It's a realistic approach with up front answers.

The TIG class is still 2 days and covers the basics, there is no magic to it...it take LOTS of practice. All the people (12) that have taken my class have left with a rideable frame. The weld are by no means prefect, but the basic are learned and they're riding their bikes.

If anyone has any questions feel free to call or stop by.
