Learn to Weld

Learn to weld at a Rob Buckley Welding Course in our fully equipped workshop in the North Dorset countryside. Welding is an invaluable skill for many repairs around the home, workshop or car. Our welding courses are perfect for car enthusiasts, sculptors and those just wanting to add to their workshop skills. Increasingly over the past 20 years our consumerist economy has encouraged us to throw away and purchase new. Let's get back to the good 'ol times; learn to weld, to repair and reuse.

    "Such a great course"

    I'd never welded before and attended a course with Rob as I wanted to do some repairs on my Morris Minor. We went through everything from the beginning and had loads of practice time, so by the end of the day I felt really ready to have a go on my own. I've now done my first repair patch on the Moggy. So chuffed!

    "Highly recommend"

    Rob is a true master! His teaching style is fantastic, with clear explanations and he was very supportive in helping us improve our welds. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day out, if you've ever fancied a go at welding then I highly recommend a course with Rob.
