Knowing how to weld is like having the having a super power! You use the power of lightning at your finger tips to create anything you want (out of metal)!
Oh, and it's way easier to learn than you probably imagined. I mean, if my 10 year old daughter can do it, anyone can!
If you're even remotely curious about what this experience is like then take a moment to read my reviews. You'll see the Sculpture Class is the same as the Welding Class in that you will learn most of the same skills however, there's no time available to build a project in this Welding & Shop Basics class. However, the thrill of being empowered with these skills is all there.
CLASS DETAILS:
After instructions on shop safety, the Instructor will demo use of a "Plasma Cutting Machine, a Bench drill press, a Port-A-Band saw, belt sander, bench grinder and some hand-held electrical tools such as an Angle Grinder with grinder, sanding disks and a cutting Wheel. Students then will be given instruction on how to operate a wire-fed welding machine and join metal pieces by creating "welds".
The remaining of the class time students will simply practice use of the various new skills.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All safety gear will be provided.
Leather closed-toed shoes must be worn. Heavy cotton or denim pants, and cotton long sleeved shirt. Tie back long hair.
If you already have your own helmet and/or gloves then bring those. It's best that you wear that which you already are most comfortable using or wearing.
