TIG Welding 201

TIG 2 is a 3 hour, open-ended, workshop-like class focused on improving your TIG welding. What we will cover depends on what folks need, but topics might include filler metal addition, more complicated weld joints, or simply getting more guided practice on the machine.

Improve your TIG welding skills.

Practice pieces and personal protective equipment.

If you use glasses for reading or other close-up work, please bring them---TIG involves a lot of small, detailed work. We have welding jackets for your upper body, but please cover all the skin on your lower body with clothing made of natural fibers (cotton, linen, wool, denim, etc.) and wear closed-toe shoes. Please do not wear loose-fitting clothes, please tie back long hair, and expect to remove any rings or dangling jewelry.

Students must be 16 years old or older. All students under 18 must be accompanied by and under the direct supervision of a responsible adult.

TIG Welding 101 or recent TIG experience is a required prerequisite.
