MIG ONE, Welding *for noobs- Your first welding class $250

Class runs from 10 AM to 1 PM.   On Saturdays 

This is an informative, safe, comfortable way to begin welding. We supply everything needed. 

For best results, Take Mig 1,2, and 3 then Tig 1,2, and 3.  The MIG 1,2,3, and/or  TIG 1,2,3 combined tickets are less expensive than buying classes individually. 

This is a class for TOTAL BEGINNERS, (although it is also an excellent class for novice and intermediate welders). 

We will discuss  safety, which is basically all good news, welding is safer than driving, carpentry, or working in a kitchen.  We will explain why there is no electrical danger assosciated with the correct use of the machines and discuss fire and assoscaiated hazards realistically. We do not do industrial-accident storytime as some weird power trip. We identify and asses risks based on physics, and data without invoking fear and nonsense. 

We will identify and discuss different types of equipment and how they are used.

We will begin welding within about an hour of the start of class and spend the bulk of the class welding 16 guage hot rolled mild steel using gas shielded Mig, also known as GMAW.  

We have a variety of machines available to try. We will discuss other types of welding like TIG and Stick.

We will show you how to inspect and test welds for quality visually, and physically. 

By the end of this class, you will understand the process, all the safety concerns, and you will have a basic but useful grasp of MIG welding. You will also have a better understanding of welding safety than many professional welders do.

We offer private instruction if you wish to bring in your own machine. We provide all the tools and materials required, we ask that you wear shop appropriate shoes and a long sleeved principally cotton garment. 

After this class, you can take "Noob to Ninja, welding continued" to continue to develop your skills. The Noob to Ninja class is ONGOING. Think of it like guitar lessons. You can always schedule a session with us to help "get to the next level."

All clients in the Noob to Ninja classes recieve specific individual attention  to help each client achieve their particular goals. Our class size is never more than Ten. Commercial welding classes are typically 50 clients per instructor. 

If you want to give this or any class as a gift, we offer gift certificates to all our classes. There is no need to schedule at the time of purchase, just get in touch when you know what date you wish to attend.
