Intro to Metalworking (MIG 101)
This is the basic authorization class for using the Metalworking Shop and the MIG Welder. We will cover lots of safety and learn the metal shop tools. Expect an hour or so of hands-on setup and shared MIG welding time (more if needed.) The class may run a bit short or long depending on students’ needs.
Proper attire is natural fiber clothing such as cotton jeans and T-shirts. Cotton/polyester blend is OK but synthetic clothing or other materials that can melt are unsafe. Students can bring their own PPE (Personal Protective Equipment,) welding shield and gloves if they have them. but these are NOT required as we have setups for everyone to use.
Please do NOT bring your own welding machines to use, the setup and testing time could impact other students.
Joe Hall will be the instructor.
The cost is $19.96 for Knox Makers members, $49.96 for General Public.
Directions- Knox Makers parking and entrance is located around the back of the SPARK building in the fenced in area.
