    Enjoyed the course a lot. Tim knows how to explain in such a way that is simple for a novice to welding can understand. The explanations and videos work well together to provide a surreal feeling of actually being in a workshop. Tim's teaching pace is great makes it easy to take notes as the lessons go.
    Overall I am content.
