Nailed this last name, but I think you likely meant Dereck* Glaser, our founder and director. He’s pretty amazing at forging steel, I learned from him as well and I see him teach pretty frequently, never fails to impress.

Hope you come back some day!

Thanks for this recommendation! We strive to provide the absolute best eduction and training to our students, whether they’re forging or welding.

Right now our twice weekly welding night classes are $530 per month. 24 hours of training at just about $22 an hour, 6-9p Mondays and Wednesdays.

Which classes did you take?

It sure is! And all of our students get discounts at the MaineOxy retail store!

We sure do! We not only offer full time comprehensive welding courses and night time classes, but also wonderful blacksmithing and bladesmithing programs.

Thanks for recommending us!

I would personally recommend NESM ;)

Not to toot our own horn, but here at New England School of Metalwork we offer great welding programs designed to fit your needs and your budget.

We have twice weekly night classes for those looking to pick up a new skill while still working full-time, as well as a full-time, 13 week comprehensive course during the day. We also offer a variety of financial aid and payment options.

We have everything from old-fashioned stick machines to the most advanced robotic welders on the market, and we’re conveniently located in Auburn, Maine, right by the Lewiston line.
