Basic MIG Welding and Fabrication

Dive into metal fabrication with this basic class that covers MIG welding and how to think about your fabrication projects. We will spend the first hour and a half learning how to weld, and the rest of class learning how to use basic metalworking tools, including a horizontal bandsaw, drill press, and metal shear. We will cover basic layout tricks and tools and then put our new skills to use by making a set of brackets you can proudly use in your home.

This class is perfect for beginners and those looking to gain more confidence with their projects. Materials and a welding hood and jacket are supplied. Sutdents will need to bring gloves and wear close-toed leather shoes.

Age Limits

Minors between the age of 12 to 16 are welcome to join but must be accompanied by an adult. A ticket should be purchased for both the minor and adult. Minors that are between 17 and 18 will still need an adult to sign a minor waiver form but an adult does not have to buy an accompanying ticket.
