A first-class sheet welder by trade, Darryl has been welding for nearly 40 years. Throughout his career, he has worked with many young apprentices, helping them develop their skills for a professional setting. Now, Darryl is keen to share his knowledge with hobbyists and artists alike! With an emphasis on safely, Darryl is here to make sure that students are armed with the knowledge and confidence to take on a variety of at-home welding projects.

MIG inverter machines are now available to the novice welder more than ever before. New inverter technology has made the machines lighter, smaller, cheaper, and provides a more stable arc, making them easier to use. So home welding is affordable again, and Darryl is here to show you how it's done!

Grace Corcoran • Jun 2021

He is kind and patient. He is knowledgeable and leading us to understanding the complicated welding easily. I enjoy it znd hope there is a follow-up class soon.

Clive Mackay • Jun 2021

Hi
Darryl was great in presenting information and ideas limiting it to basic terminology with no Jargon terms, meaning anyone could understand.
Getting around the class seeing how everything is going, would be tough, but he seemed to be there when things didn’t look right, to correct as required. This workshop was relaxed as nothing seemed pressured and the whole group was focused and quiet.
This was great for first time welders class giving oversight of; welding machine, tools and techniques.
There was even time for a little creativity using off cuts to create your own interpretive sculpture.
Good to see most keen to come to a more advanced class to learn more.
Great indicator for a great Teacher.
Thanks Darryl

Zane Stuchbery • May 2021

Really great class, Darren is welcoming, patient and explains things very well. Would reccomend this.

Ryan Lunt • May 2021

The class was an excellent introduction to safety and plenty of practise. I left being much less afraid of the idea of welding and only wish there was additional classes that would be able to beyond the introduction so I can receive additional knowledge and experience. I really enjoyed my time in the class with a fantastic and encouraging teacher

Julietattam • May 2021

Fantastic class. The teacher was such a nice man, very approachable and knowledgeable. I learnt so much Thank you!

Fiona Gazepis • May 2021

Teacher was very knowledgeable and friendly. And funny. I learnt the basics to get startednow I guess its just practice. I won't be terrified to turn my welding machine on now

Eddie Chi • May 2021

Loved it, great trainer. Will come back for more if TIG and gas welding was available

Sian Cowen • May 2021

Great intro class into welding, Darryl gave us a really good understanding of the 101 of such a technical skill. Really enjoyed the class and had a great time.

Allan Gerada • May 2021

A good intro to welding by Darryl who is a good teacher. I would like to see a next stage welding class. Thanks for the experience Darryl. Cheers, Allan

Jason Ang • May 2021

Teacher was friendly and knowledgeable, appreciate that we got stuck straight into the practical as the theory can be quite boring especially on a sunday.

Stephen Green • May 2021

The Intro to Welding was an excellent class. The teacher was very friendly, helpful, gave lots of tips and info, plus a whole load of stories from working as a welder.
There was plenty of hands on time, with lots of information; from safety, to tips on improving, and what to look for if you want to buy your own equipment.
If you love making things, and are thinking about metal-work, take this class! Its an excellent intro. 100% recommended.

Miriam Ross • May 2021

Very relaxed atmosphere. Makes learning easy.
Nothing or any questions was too much trouble during the class

Paul Hopkins • May 2021

Was a great intro to welding - Daryl explained things very well and gave us the confidence to have a go.

Welding Workshop for Beginners review by Paul Hopkins

Alan Peterson • May 2021

Very personable and helpful instructor. Work area was a bit cramped and the shared tables rather wobbly (messed up my neighbour's weld while trying to pry my piece off the table).

Dan Vaz • May 2021

Lots of hands on which helps to be confident with welding.
Only issue was the helmet as it was a broken one. Maybe a few spares would help.

Paul Reynolds • May 2021

Very practical introduction to gasless MIG welding. Darryl is a very experienced welder and great teacher. This is a great opportunity to learn the fundamentals of joining pieces of metal together.

Lynton Dickens • Apr 2021

Darryl was engaging and knowledgeable. His encouraging style and attention worked very well. The small class size meaning we had a welder each also made a huge difference

Helen Benham • Apr 2021

Had a great time, learnt a lot from Darryl who was very helpful. Safety was covered fully. Looking forward to a course for the next level.

Metalwork workshop review by Helen Benham

Ranit Ram • Apr 2021

Great introductory course into some basic MIG welding - ideal for someone without with any prior welding experience.

Joucelen Gabriel • Apr 2021

The class was great value for money, the teacher was awesome!
Had a fun learning how to weld

John Little • Apr 2021

Teacher was great very informative and knowledgeable
Venue good a bid crowded materials and kit all up to standard
I loved it I hope you can develop further courses to help me develop my knowledge

Simon Wilde • Apr 2021

Great class. Teacher was down to earth, friendly and informative. Learnt how to use a mig welder. Ready to buy my own gear for use at home

Makoto Hosoya • Apr 2021

It was a great hands-on introduction to welding. I always wanted to do welding for some repair jobs around and I also knew a welding machine became very affordable these days BUT I was clueless about how to start with it. Thanks to this workshop, I've got some basic idea of it and I can go on to practice and experiment by myself now.
Thank you very much Darryl. And, I'll definitely attend a follow up workshop if you are organising one in future.

Caitlin Preston • Apr 2021

I really loved this class! Darryl was a wonderful teacher, and I liked the focus on hands-on creation. By the end of the class I had improved my skills and had a lot of fun! Highly recommend.

Kylie Barber • Apr 2021

Fantastic introduction to welding with a very knowledgeable and approachable tutor. Materials are all supplied. The class size is a nice and small which ensures you get as much time to practice welding as possible. Definitely recommend.

Felix Lee • Apr 2021

Darryl is an absolute ledgend, a true craftsman and great teacher. He made the whole experience really enjoyable. Would highly recommend this class, as it's a really useful skill to have and a good time.

Alex Rolfe • Apr 2021

Daryl is a superb teacher. It a somewhat intimidating thing being a office worker and stepping into a welding environment. Daryl brilliantly handled it, so much so that within ten mins we were on the tools and building confidence rapidly. I’d definitely do it again, and if an intermediate session is set up I’ll sign up for sure

Louise Crawshaw • Apr 2021

Fantastic class. Great pace, great teacher and nice size class. Looking forward to having a go and welding, after this class feeling confident!

Malcolm Davison • Apr 2021

Darryl is a natural teacher, good structure and great experience in the art of welding.
I would happily recommend this course to anyone who is wanting to start welding. Good hands on course.

Daniel Williams • Apr 2021

Daryl was a legend! A lotta fun, learnt a lot very quickly. Would defos recommend

Peter Miller • Apr 2021

Great intro to welding our teacher (Darryl) was both knowledgeable and patience. Equipment was of good quality and we had time to discuss the different types and usage. The class size of 9 was ideal allowing the teacher time to discuss our work and make corrections. No issues with materials or instructions. I just wish there were further courses available

Michael Derrett • Apr 2021

Teacher excellent, venue eclectic but worked well, equipment and materials all really good. Everyone had a good time and learnt lots

George Prountzos • Apr 2021

I found it was value for money as I just wanted an orientation to welding.
Would have liked to try stick welding just to compare.
The trainer was very knowledgeable but I felt he was not prepared in his delivery.
The amenedties were below the standard I expected and felt unprofessional.
Unfortunately, the work bench was not secured to the wall so we and the team next to us had to deal with the workspace wobbling while we tried to weld in a straight line. I found the mask would react to the welding next door as they were so close.
The equipment and materials were acceptable for beginners.
The trainer was helpful during the practice sessions.

Kim Gomes • Apr 2021

very polite and attentive teacher, and understands that hands on is better learning, thank you so much!

Doug Cardew • Apr 2021

Last week I did a quick search on welding courses and this one popped up with one spot left - I figured all I needed right now was the 3 hrs intro and $110 is the right price. Was the perfect intro course and I got just what I needed right now. Darryl was great at getting us right into it and obviously loves what he does. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a little taste of welding without much effort.
Many thanks
Doug

Richard Kennedy • Apr 2021

great introduction to welding - feel confident in pursuing it. now i REALLY want a class in fabrication, specifically grinding and cutting. than you

David McCarthy • Apr 2021

This was a very useful class to give me the basics of gasless welding. From essentially zero practical knowledge I am now confident enough to wield a welder and practice at home to improve my skills. Daryl was a cheerful and informative teacher with a wealth of knowledge that he was very willing to impart. I'd recommend this course to anyone who wishes to learn the rudiments of the craft.

Tom Pom • Apr 2021

Plenty of advice and time on the welder. Reccomended.

Gary Sheppard • Apr 2021

Thoroughly recommended!
The instructor Daryl was both knowledgeable and personable.
He took the fear and unknown out of welding by giving a great basic introduction to the art.
It's all very well to look at welding videos on youtube but there's no substitute for having someone explain the basics in person and guide you though your initial welds.
I now am confident that I can purchase a small welder and pursue welding for my modest needs.
Whereas I would never have taken that step without this class.
Thankyou!

Chris Hickey • Apr 2021

The teacher Darryl, was very experienced and pitched all his information for the correct group. We were all new to welding so was explained at a basic level. Explained, demonstrated and then progressively practised

Materials were provided which was great. All safety gear as well.

The venue used was a little tight for the ten students in the class. A larger work area would be better.

Overall a great day.

Wesley Talanoa • Apr 2021

Great day.
Darryl was good easy to understand and
Lots of information.
Overall would recommend it
Thank you

Philip Barnes • Apr 2021

Well pitched for beginners basics well covered equipment adequate venue fine although hard to see some demonstrations with a big group

Emmanuel Flores • Apr 2021

The class was really interesting and the instructor was extremely helpful and informative. We had an issue with one of the welders at the beginning of the class but he kept his composure and continued with the class. Well worth the money with plenty of practical work. Can’t wait for their new ‘upcoming welding classes.

Gregory Wynne • Mar 2021

Thanks Daryl - great class and great help - I really enjoyed it. Teacher answered all my questions no matter how silly the question was! Liked the hands on aspect and the get in and giver it a go!

Michael Stokes • Mar 2021

This was a great way to spend 3 hours on a Sunday. Laurie was a fine teacher, obviously very experienced and had the knack of sharing his knowledge and making the tasking easy and enjoyable. I will be keen to hear of more extended and follow up courses.

Francis Davis • Mar 2021

Loved the beginners welding class on 21 March 2021. Teacher took the time to provided one on one guidance, training, and suggestions to improve welding skills with each student. Now, I can't wait to get my own welder and steel to start creating things.

Metalwork workshop review by Francis Davis

Brendan Fitzpatrick • Mar 2021

Darryl provided an excellent introductory class. Safety and the basics were covered then it was straight into hands-on activities and learning by doing. Darryl was knowledgeable and took time to answer all the questions put to him. I look forward to putting my newly acquired skills into action.

Tom Day • Mar 2021

Brilliant lesson!

Every aspect covered and walked out 100 times more confident.

Highly recommended!

Marcus Marano • Mar 2021

Hands on, very informative. Top grade teacher with on job experience. All tools and materials provided. Good first step for first timers to gain confidence and understanding.

Ismael Abufon • Mar 2021

It was really good! -- lots of practise and freedom to experiment.

Darryl was very supportive and provided really good guidance, while being super open to questions.

Jeremy Lawrance • Feb 2021

It was a lot of fun with a small class and so everyone had hands on experience. The MIG machines that are used are only good for hobby or art work. It would be nice to have a follow up course with rod type arc welding.

Welding Workshop for Beginners review by Jeremy Lawrance

Anthony Cooper • Feb 2021

Really enjoyed this class. Having come in a complete novice, I really felt like I was getting there by the end of the class.

Gary Dingley • Feb 2021

Overall i liked the class. i am a beginner welder and i learnt some good basics. i am more confident now to go and buy a welder and start using the tool. i realise i still have a lot to learn and i would consider doing another course if it teaches me more and builds on what we have already covered. . if there was one thing i would do differently, it would perhaps be a bit of briefing at the start for 10 mins about the different type of welders in the market and for the mig welder how the unit is set up and works. Our welder for my son and I ran out of wire and could not work. we ended up sharing with another table. it would be good to get a quick overview of how the machine works, any tips for set up and maintenance and then proceed to the class to test and learn to do good welds. lastly, perhaps have a back up machine available if there is a problem on the day. i would be happy to recommend the course and do another course in the future. thank you.

Metalwork workshop review by Gary Dingley

Robert Mawston • Feb 2021

Teacher was great, and very experienced. Sharing of the real world aspects of welding added a lot to the basics class, and plenty of time for practising techniques.

Clinton Abbott • Feb 2021

Great class definitely worth the money and the teacher was fantastic hope in the future we can come back to do more advanced welding classes

Metalwork workshop review by Clinton Abbott

Nicole Robins • Feb 2021

Excellent tutor - Stuart was very professional, great explanations and very positive feedback. It was a great introduction to the world of welding - which I knew nothing about. Like any skill it takes a lot of practice. I was wondering about whether welding could be of use in my fibre art. Cheers Nicole

Garrick Palmer • Feb 2021

Friendly, relaxed teacher who was knowlegable and happy to answer any questions. Venue was clise to transport and easy for anyone to get to. Macines all worked well. Materials were perfectly adequate without being wasteful.
Think price was fair considering teacher and venue time, materials, consumables and equipment. Came out happy with result and cost.

Max Hague • Jan 2021

class was good value for money. The class was quick to move into the practical component so plenty of time spent gaining hands on experience.

Kel Durney • Jan 2021

Teacher was down to earth, not too much talking and the straight into practical demonstration. Then the next 2.75 hours was all hands on welding. The teacher was there to give assistance and field questions. A great three hours. Thoroughly recommend this for clueless beginners like me!

Michael Williams • Jan 2021

Great introduction to welding from an experienced teacher. Good balance of theory and hands on welding. The highlight was Peter the teacher.

Olivia Hopkinson • Jan 2021

The teacher was amazing really easy going and helpful. Really good for begginers as an introduction. I only wish there were more courses to extend the learning because it was so good

Yael Cohen • Nov 2020

Really good intro class. Peter was a very good teacher and the venue was great. Good value.

Craig Davis • Nov 2020

The practical side of this class was a highlight, plenty of time spent on the welding machines.
The teacher was great in rotating through the participants providing information and tips on techniques.

Simon Sepulveda • Nov 2020

Phil put together a great learning experience for my dad and I.
He gave us lots of advice.
The venue was great.
Material provided made it easy for us to practice a lot.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking at welding.

Thomas Wild • Oct 2020

Our teacher and venue were great. A nice and simple introduction to welding. There was plenty of hands on doing. The teacher gently moved among the relatively small class so everyone got help specific to their interests and ability.

Claudia Tu • Oct 2020

Great class the instructor was very knowledgeable and everyone got a lot of 1 on 1 time

Julian Hill • Oct 2020

Having owned a mig welder for years and never watched any tutorial videos or read the manual I decided to do this course. The course taught me how to Weld properly. Very happy.

Wendy Crane • Oct 2020

Welding for Beginners was a perfect introduction to learning how to weld. I had no prior experience and found Phil to be a really great teacher. The course was very practical and hands on, and I came away from the course feeling that I have the skills to be able to build on and that I will be able to do the welding required for my home project.

Cath Bisaro • Oct 2020

Great intro to welding. I had absolutely no welding experience but feel now with some practise, I could now weld.

Gerard Shannon • Oct 2020

Excellent basic intro to welding for anyone wanting to dip their toes without knowing how to start. Teacher was pleasant, extremely experienced and knowledgeable as well as attentive and quick to step in and adjust any equipment and provide assistance if and when needed

Great value for money, very good advise and enjoyed the relaxed experience. Easy to get here by public transport.

Have spare machines & make sure they’re ready haha, otherwise Pete is unreal and it’s great, definitely recommend

Patrick Mountford • Aug 2020

Fun class, very interesting, good introduction to the subject. Teacher was keen to share his knowledge and experience.
I felt a little more structure might have been good e.g. everyone does one specific task teacher gives feedback move on to next task etc. Just a suggestion!

Scott Dangerfield • Aug 2020

Pete is a great teacher, and put us all at ease Good location and facilities- everything we needed was provided Very relaxed class, which was very conducive to learning Safety was well and truly covered All in all I would recommend this course Brilliant

Joseph Bizinger • Aug 2020

Peter was really knowledgeable and was always happy with providing advice and feedback on our progress. The 4 hours flew by, only wish it had gone longer.

Alex Torney • Jul 2020

A really good introduction to welding, I was able to glean some insights that I dont think I'd have been able to figure out alone, such as how to set the welder to work properly. We worked with gasless mig welders. Started by doing a few tack welds and once we'd achieved a tack of decent strength we attempted some full length welds. I think I achieved a solid foundational skill to be honed.

Casey Finigan • Jul 2020

The teacher was a lovely man with lots of knowledge. Very hands on learning which I enjoyed.

Marco Gheri • Jul 2020

Good class for beginner, recommended for having a bit of understanding about how to set-up the machine and do basic stitching

David Goodsall • Jul 2020

I wanted to learn how to identify correct machine settings and tell a good weld from a bad one. Came away with that as well understanding how to get a smooth flat weld and fix mistakes. More than I expected and all in a single introduction session. Phil was good explaining what to do and then getting us to do it.

Ian Roche • Jul 2020

Teacher was super friendly and very knowledgeable,explained technical details in a very easy to understand way.The difference between my first weld and my last was unbelievable. Very good teacher,fills you with confidence and that makes you want to improve.

Dougal Biggart • Jul 2020

Great hands on for gas-less MIG welding. I think some diagrams on a board to explain theories on good and bad welds for beginners. Also maybe on the info prior to the course you could tell people if they have gloves and mask to bring theirs so they can experience their use. A lot to cover in three hours and I think it was great to hands on and experiment before buying a machine. Instructor was very patient and lots of advice. Would recommend to the beginner, the unsure or curious.

Nathanael Hughes • Jun 2020

Peter was helpful in showing us the basics with mig welding and encourages hands on learning. He is a relaxed and interesting person taking any stress out of learning. This was a great class for beginners and everyone left better at welding than when they started.

Todd Anscombe • Jun 2020

The teacher was fantastic, had loads of industry experience.
The venue was ok.

Scott Kirkwood • Jun 2020

Great introduction class for beginners, teacher was very helpful, all the right equipment provided. Recommend

Peter Kearns • Jun 2020

Peter interacted with everyone
Good knowledge and his experience in welding was clear to see
Spoke to us at our level so ease of learning was great
He encouraged feedback from us at our introduction meet n greet and throughout the course
Peter did a great job
The dividing small screens are too low because when the guys next to our bench were welding we could not start until they stopped
Overall though very satisfied with course and now confident to practice at home with my machine

Jennifer Mattiussi • Mar 2020

Phil was a great teacher and he had the additional responsibility of making sure we were protected from the Coronavirus risks with additional gloves and masks.
The steps taken were clearly explained and we left with a good basic knowledge of how to weld.
I would recommend this course.

Sandra Barratt • Mar 2020

First time welding and really enjoyed it. Teacher was really good he explained everything perfectly. All material was supplied. Would recommend this course to beginner welders.

Giacomo Borghesi • Mar 2020

Class was amazing. Really useful to learn basic knowledge. Teacher really useful and prepared, open to answer any questions.

Michael Simpson • Mar 2020

The informative instruction by Phil was both entertaining and instructive.
He was able to impart his knowledge and let us ask plenty of questions

Kosta Kaptsis • Mar 2020

Welding with Phil. Was informative, educational and fun, would recommend for anyone looking to learn basic mig welding

Mark Barratt • Mar 2020

Phil was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. He was always encouraging and helpful.
The class was enjoyable and I came away with a good understanding of the basics pf welding along with the confidence to continue practicing and improving at home.

Barney Solomon • Mar 2020

I took the class to help me decide if welding was something I would like to know. Phil as an instructor has enormous amounts of knowledge and enthusiasm for teaching his class. All materials were supplied as well as welding masks and gloves. The instruction was exactly what I was looking for to help me decide if I wanted to invest in a machine. I did buy a machine and have since effectively made enough repairs to cover my outlay.
If I'd just purchased a machine without this class there is no way I'd be able to repair what I have. This class was excellent value. Thank you Phil and the team!

Christian Carter • Feb 2020

The welding workshop was awesome.

It was great just to have a turn to join to bits of metal together. Without sitting through 12 months of metallurgy theory and electrical classes.

Will be buying my own welding kits shortly so I can practice.

It was a great introduction.

Ben Faul • Feb 2020

I really enjoyed the class. The only thing that could be improved is maybe a bit more time. The end was a bit rushed and so the teacher didnt get a chance to get around to everyone. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wanted to learn welding!

Mark Glasson • Feb 2020

The class was informative and Phil was great at explaining the procedures of basic welding! I got exactly what I needed from this introduction to welding! Just need to practice to get better at it before taking on further tuition!

Geordie McSullea • Feb 2020

Really good workshop. I enjoyed it a lot. I would recommend it to friends.

Hepke Poutsma • Jan 2020

Very knowledgeable but at time lost his train of thoughts making the point he wanted to make come across confusing. Passionate and experienced.
He would be brilliant rather than good if he can get more structured and to the point in his explanations.
Enjoyed it and feel confident in starting welding.
When location changes, send out an email with the change! Arrived late because of it and that is no good for anybody.

Wayne Farrugia • Jan 2020

The course was great and Phil was very knowledgeable. Maybe in the future everyone could have their own welder to practice on.

Bruce McMillan • Jan 2020

Phil is very knowledgeable about welding. I have reasonable theoretical knowledge and it was great to finally have a chance to try electric arc (stick) and gasless MIG welding. Fantastic!

William Rock • Jan 2020

Teacher was very knowledgeable. However the class was at a different location than listed in the confirmation email and no contact was made to let anyone know the location had changed, apart from a note taped on the roller door of original location. The new location wasn't set-up for this type of class, all students sharing one folding table that moved everytime someone used the metal brush or steel wool. We were all so close together that it made it hard to get anything done.

Udi Milliken • Jan 2020

My husband and I did the welding class for something different to learn and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Phil was knowledgeable, interesting and practical and gave individual attention. Great teaching manner. Inspiring.
