This is the Basic startup class for using the Mig Welding in the Metal Area.

We will spend 30 minutes on basic safety and area requirements.
Then expect an hour of hands on setup and shared MIG welding time

I’m going to limit the number of students to 5 so each person gets enough hands on time to be able to feel comfortable using the MIG welder

Students should bring their own shield and gloves, if they have them. But they are not required, as we have setups available to use.

Please do NOT bring your own welding equipment to use, the setup and testing time could impact other students.

There will be a fee for this class of $49.96 for the general public, $19.96 for current Knox Makers members. There will be a 2 person minimum, maximum of 5. If the class minimum is not reached by midnight two days before the event the class will be canceled and all tickets will be refunded.

Directions: Knox Makers parking and entrance is located in the fenced area around the back of the SPARK building.
