The class will review the safety briefing, the introduction to welding theory
This class is the second of a 4 part series. It is the next step once
students complete the prerequisite class: MIG (Metal Inert Gas) Welding Part 1. The class is open to those who have completed MIG #1 or the equivalent. The class is limited to 4 participants for one-on-one learning. The emphasis of the class will be on technique development and practice.
This is a hands-on opportunity to refine and practice what was learned in MIG #1.
The class will focus on how to perform different kind of welds – butt, lap, “T”, corner, and edge. The goal at the end of the studio is to feel comfortable with the operation of the welding machine and the MIG welding process in performing different welds. Students may progress to a simple welded piece.
The class will include instruction on some of the cutting and grinding machines.
The class will review the safety briefing, the introduction to welding theory and materials.
BARN will provide Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).
Students must wear long sleeves and long pants of natural fiber and closed toe shoes (preferably leather). No stretch garments. Dress warmly, the welding studio may be cold.
When registering for class you will be required to pay an added $15 materials fee for steel coupons, wire, and gas, PPE, consumables replacement. This will then be added to the base price of the class and totaled.
This MIG #2 welding class is limited to 4 participants for one-on-one learning. If only one student has registered 60 hours before the class, the class will be cancelled.
Instructor: Erin Munter was raised locally on the Island. In her 20's she moved to Oakland, California and attended the welding program at Laney College for 4 years. During this time she interned and volunteered at a metal arts school called The Crucible. She returned to Bainbridge Island and began doing furniture bases and other fabrication for Coyote Woodshop. Eventually she moved on to work at an Island fabricating shop as well as teach at another Kitsap area school aimed towards children's welding education. She still currently does fabrication all over Kitsap. Her passion is everything welded including large and small indoor and outdoor household amenities. She also takes part in the local art community with sculptures in local shows past and future.
