Beginning Welding

The feedback has been incredible on this. The class begins with the first day being dedicated to satety and welding fundamentals, wrapping up with 30 minutes of getting geared up and cutting plates, shapes and听pieces out of听steel sheet with our plasma cutter. Everyone just wants to keep going!

That enthusiasm is carried through the rest of the week, with the fundamentals of TIG and MIG welding being learned and practiced听intensely. Everyone leaves at the end with one听or more things they have made,听with a chosen emphasis on their preferred discipline.

We absolutely听insist on teaching everyone the skills involved in welding aluminum, a skill that is one of the most useful in todays world.
