Boot Camp #2 Grinding for Redemption

In our second session, “Grinding for Redemption” We will examine a very broad variety of grinding gear and help you become comfortable with it. We will discuss safe practices, unsafe practices, how to buy the good products and what to avoid and why.

It is impossible to overstate how important this class is. If you have never been taught how to use grinders by a professional, you don't know how to grind safely, quickly, or perfectly. Being able to grind blend and sand your work is often the difference between expert ($$$$) and mediocre (>$) work.

Once you know how to grind competently you will find that producing perfect looking metal-work is mostly a matter of patience. Bad welds can be smoothed out or removed entirely, you can literally cut something in half and re weld it with no aesthetic or structural loss. We will teach you how to grind out welds very, very quickly, the central tricks of flat grinding, weld prep, and how to grind and cut aluminum easily. You will learn to speak sparks. We will discuss the types of tools you should buy and the strategies used to get hold of them cheaply.
