About
Both absolute beginners and those who have taken Welding: TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) #1 can benefit from this class, where you'll progress from making a basic TIG bead to the techniques and practices required to make TIG-welded joints. You'll learn how to perform different kinds of TIG welds – butt, lap, “T,” corner, and edge.
TIG welding requires more dexterity and practice than MIG (metal inert gas) welding. You're encouraged to use open studios to practice techniques and develop confidence. The goal at the end of this class is to feel comfortable with the operation of the welding machine and the TIG welding process in performing different welds.
Details
Class is limited to four people to facilitate one-on-one learning and direct mentoring. You'll have the use of a fully equipped TIG welding station.
