About
Refine and practice what you learned in MIG #1.
This class will focus on how to perform different kinds of welds – butt, lap, “T,” corner, and edge. The goal is for you to feel comfortable operating the welding machine and know how the MIG welding process works in performing different welds. You will progress to welded pieces and/or a simple project at the discretion of the instructor.
Safety, welding theory, and materials will be reviewed.
