I met them today at a welding competition in Huntsville, and I was super excited to see them because I’ve been following them on tiktok and Instagram for a while and I love the content and they put out because they are very good at explaining how there school works ani to easily join and they give many tips in their videos to help their viewers excel in their welding. I think that their school is Honest and organized and meeting 2 of their biggest spokesmen was pretty awesome their were so genuine and kind and I got a couple of welding tips from Danny. He was a nice in person as he was online.
