Intro to Metalworking (MIG 101)

Welding 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, then we’ll move to hands-on setup and shared MIG welding time. 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. Close toed shoes or boots and long pants are mandatory. NO spandex or “tech” style clothes made from nylon/polyester and shorts/skirts are not allowed. 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 $24.96 for Knox Makers members, $49.96 for General Public.
