oh joy. matt is going to weld more stuff which translates into more heavy crap to carry the next time he moves.
Prairie State is right near my loft.
Evanston isn't that far from where you currently live.
Erik, you haven't learned the tricks of helping others move? Save the heavy stuff for them! It should be especially easy for something that Matt made! "Oh dude! I didn't want lift it in case I dropped it and it broke!" ;^]

I like to make Erik (moose) carry the heavy stuff. He's got those antlers which do wonders for heavy items.

are there any stick/mig/tig welding classes in chicago? not the artsy classes...and not classes in the crime ridden neighborhoods where your truck will be emptied out by the time you get out of class....
for example somewhere on the northsie of chicago or the northern suburbs?
Did you ever find a welding class? I live up in Mundelein and I'm looking for the same thing. Thanks for the AWS info, I'm going to check them out.
I race stock cars, just started, and I think welding is going to be a good skill to have. :)
