About the event

MIG Welding 101: Make Your Own Chain Lamp!
Join us at HackPGH for an intensive but fun and informative MIG welding class, intended for complete beginners and/or those looking to brush up on rusty skills while building something fun and functional.

Structure: This class provides the foundation for basic fabrication techniques using one of HackPGH's two new MIG welders - the Millermatic 255 "MIGuel" and the Vulcan Omnipro 220! Students will learn to tack-weld into place and fully weld steel. Each student will make and take home an industrial lamp made from heavy duty chain with an Edison-style bulb. Several breaks will be offered throughout the day, including a long break for a group takeout lunch. Lunch will be provided, so please advise if you have any allergies or food restrictions!

Requirements: No experience required. Ages 16+, minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Safety requirements: Work boots or leather shoes recommended. No open-toed or cloth shoes. Long hair should be tied back, and and we recommend wearing natural fiber clothing such as denim and cotton.

Date & Time: Saturday, July 12th from 11:00am-5:00pm

Cost: $165 for non-members, $150 for HackPGH Members
