Stephen - 15 September 2024
Absolutely brilliant introduction to TIG welding. Dan is really knowledgeable, and explains everything clearly. Only having two people in the class means you get plenty of time to get your head around the actual physical act of welding. Not as easy as it looks, but I loved it! Highly recommended.

Rodin O'Hagan - 14 July 2024
Dan is offering an amazing opportunity. If you've thought about trying Tig welding, then Dan offers a story informative, relaxed guidance, complete with full instruction. But best of all, you get to actually try welding. Dan gently walks you though the essentials and progresses you through to actually welding something together. All done with encouragement, explanation but without any pressure. It's the best £100 I've spent in a very long time.
Hardik - 30 June 2024
Absolutely fantastic! Dan is an excellent teacher with a lot of patience, he took us through the fundamentals to all the way until we could weld something. He had safety in mind throughout the whole time and was able to expertly guide us through our mistakes and gave us many tips, based on any troubles that we were having. I would highly recommend this class to anyone.
Ross - 17 June 2024
We would highly recommend this course. Dan was a fantastic teacher, with a well-considered series of exercises that develop the skills needed to produce a welded dice by the end of the session! He explains the process thoroughly and gave clear instruction. It was really enjoyable, and friends and family have been impressed with the result!
Sonia - 24 May 2024
Dan was amazing!!! What he doesn't know about TIG is not worth knowing.... clear instruction and extremely well organised, it's amazing what was achieved in 3hours.
Carleen - 20 May 2024
Dan Dan the Welding Man is an excellent teacher. Kind, patient, informative and instructive; truly impressive! This lesson was bought as a surprise gift for me and I had the best time! So fun, super interesting and a great way to spend the day. Highly recommend!
Karen - 20 May 2024
A great workshop led by a very kind, patient, and funny teacher. Dan took the time to reassure us two nervous novices and made sure we got out of the class exactly what we needed. Great fun, learnt a new skill and got to take our work home too. Really useful if you are in a trade, wanting to create art or just learn something new. Would highly recommend.
Juliette - 20 May 2024
What a brilliant afternoon. Dan is an expert welder but also an expert teacher. Can't recommend highly enough - thanks Dan
Tracy - 16 May 2024
Very accessible, a total blast
Josip - 19 April 2024
On Saturday, April 13th, I attended the welding lesson with Dan. The information and communication throughout were excellent. I was impressed by the workshop at first glance; I felt welcomed, the workshop was well equipped, well organised and very tidy. Dan, the facilitator, was very friendly and made me feel at home. The TIG welding class was well-structured and highly informative; Dan generously shared a wealth of information. He explained each step in theory, and afterwards, I was given ample time to practice. His kindness and encouragement left me feeling enthusiastic, and I departed the class with a solid foundation in TIG welding.

Margaret Fielding - 8 April 2024
Great course. Fab instructor. I would highly recommend this as an introduction to TIG welding.
Joe - 7 February 2024
Fantastic session for a beginner. With no experience to start with I really got into it and Dan is a great teacher. Definitely a good place to start if you're looking for a decent intro to TIG welding.
Veronika - 4 February 2024
Really enjoyed the class with Dan! The class is taught in a very small group (we were just 2) which allows lots of hands-on learning. Since we were both absolute beginners, Dan explained the basics of TIG welding very well and let us try out every step that was explained before moving on to the next creating a great learning experience. Towards the end we welded our own little project we could take home after the class. I'd recommend this to everyone who's looking for a fun and informative introduction to TIG welding
Michael Duffy - 18 January 2024
As a complete beginner, Dan was incredibly clear but relaxed. I found the course genuinely brilliant and completely unintimidating. Could recommend it highly enough if you want to have a go but feel nervous
Brian Madden - 16 January 2024
I had been on the lookout for a welding introduction course for a while now and I am very happy with the experience. Dan put me at ease and taught me a lot in a short space of time.
Peter - 11 January 2024
Very cool and interesting introduction to welding. I had never done anything like it before and didn't really know what to expect. It was a brilliant experience. Dan is a kind, friendly, knowledgable and patient tutor. Highly recommend this workshop for anyone who would like to try a new craft as it's very accessible and very fun!
Emily - 12 December 2023
Dan was a really great teacher. Very patient and encouraging. I definitely recommend this cause. It was a really informative and fun morning!
Tamara Stanton - 11 December 2023
I really enjoyed the introduction to TIG welding and would 100% recommend it. I did not know anything about TIG welding before the course, and learnt so much from Daniel who was very patient, encouraging and good at explaining - a brilliant teacher! It was very satisfying to progress throughout the morning and I really felt like I had learnt so much in the short time. I am in awe of it as a skill and it was a treat to learn from an expert who clearly enjoys teaching others. Thank you Daniel!
Jessica Lubin - 6 December 2023
Excellent class patiently taught and really fun! Would recommend
Mihail - 4 December 2023
awesome class, really gives you a feel for what TIG welding involves and what you would need to do if you want to master it. Dan is awesome, and I really appreciated his patience with a newbie like me.

Great introduction to TIG welding! Dan guides you through everything you need to know to enjoy a fully hands-on first TIG welding session. The atmosphere is supportive and relaxed. If you have been thinking about giving TIG a go, this course is the right one!
Onyeka Tabansi - 1 October 2023
I went on this course and it was brilliant. The positivity, advice and encouragement from Dan was great and really gave me the skills and knowledge to give Tig welding a go at home.
Tania - 15 April 2023
Absolutely loved learning TIG welding at Lions Den. In just one lesson I felt that I acquired the skills to give it a try on my own. And the idea of welding a dice at the end of the workshop is genius. It really looks stunning and makes you go home feeling very satisfied with your work! 💯 worth it!!!
Phil - 14 April 2023
Fantastic space, insightful teachers and inspiring atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.
