We will cover various aspects of MIG welding over the course of the program with about 1 hour dedicated to classroom time to review more in-depth information about setting the welder appropriately, basics of fabrication, small weld projects, etc. Come ready to learn and weld!

We will provide safety gear (welding jacket, gloves, hood) *but if you have your own gear feel free to bring it to the class!

*For this program I do highly suggest that you purchase your own hood and gloves but is not necessary to come to class.

Wear work boots (steel toe are preferable), a pair of jeans that you do not mind getting dirty, and a 100% cotton shirt (this is all for your safety and protection, if you are not dressed appropriately you will not be able to participate in the class)
