Continue to Weld.

This is the more advanced class for using the TIG Welder and Plasma Cutter in the Metal Area. We will spend just a few minutes on basic safety and area requirements. First we will go over the basic Plasma cutter setup, expect 30 minutes of hands on metal cutting
Then expect the next hour of hands on setup and shared TIG 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 TIG welder and Plasma Cutter

You MUST have completed the Welding 101 or already feel very comfortable MIG welding before taking this class, as it is not an intro to welding, but a more advanced class focusing on TIG

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 is $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.

This is the Basic startup class for using the Hossfeld Standard Model No. 2 Bender
in the Blacksmithing Area.

We will spend 15 minutes on basic safety and area requirements.
Then expect 45 minutes of hands on setup and shared bending time

We will supply some material to bend, but feel free to bring your own material
(I’m not saying you will be able to bend your material, but we will discuss the machine limitations)

I’m going to limit the number of students to 5 , so each person get enough hands on time to be able to feel comfortable using the Hossfeld bender

Students should bring their own gloves

The cost is $19.96 for Knox Makers members

Intro to MIG welding.

This is the Basic startup class for using the MIG Welder in the Metal Shop.
We will spend about 30 minutes on basic safety and area requirements.
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. *

Students should bring their own Welding Shield, gloves and other PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) if they have them.. but these are not required. The Metal Shop has all the required equipment for those who don’t have their own.

This class introduces you to the new blacksmithing zone. We cover propane forge operation, zone safety, basic hand forging, and nail making. At the completion of the class, members will receive a key to access the forge and foundry building.

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. We have eye protection available but suggest you bring your own if you have them.
