TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) or GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) welding is the process of welding using a tungsten electrode, filler metal rod, and an electric arc to produce a nice, clean weld. TIG welding is commonly used for steel, stainless steel, aluminum and bronze. It is often used for specialty applications such as bike frames and roll cages because it produces a finer, more precise weld than other processes. It is a bit more difficult to master than MIG (GMAW) welding (which is what most of us start with), but the results are a higher quality, cleaner weld.

This 3-session class will teach you how to use and understand the components of the TIG welding machine, how to set up a joint, explore finishing, and practice welding on a variety of materials. Prior MIG or stick welding experience mandatory.

PREREQUISITES:

This is open to anyone 18 and up. Prior MIG or stick welding experience mandatory. Please wear hair tied back, closed-toe boots, jeans, and long-sleeved shirts.

MATERIALS:

Your materials fee pays for metal and gas. We provide safety protection including welding masks, goggles, leather jackets, and gloves.

REFUNDS/CANCELLATIONS:

Class size limited to 6 students. Minimum 4 students. We reserve the right to cancel the class if we do not have a minimum amount of students so please purchase your tickets early. If we cancel, we will refund you in full and notify you. You may cancel and get a full refund up to three days before the class. After that, refunds are contingent on us being able to fill your seat. Under no circumstances do we offer refunds to individuals who cancel on the same day; this ruins the party for everyone.
