MW_S09: TIG Welding 101 Sign-off

Looking to step up your metalworking game? Then enter the art of Tungsten Inert Gas welding! This class is a comprehensive crash-course through the core concepts of TIG welding and the prerequisite sign-off class for independent use of our machine in the metalworking shop.

Sign off: TIG Welder

Safety Clothing: Wear natural fiber clothes, with long pants. Close-toed shoes are required, ideally made with natural materials. Tie back long hair and arrive within 15 minutes of start time.

Prerequisite: With welding, sooner or later, you are going to need to cut or shape the metal. This is why we require Metal Shop Basic sign-off for all independent welders.

If you take the welding sign off before the Basic sign-off class, we welcome members at Metal Shop Mondays where you can improve your skills under supervision. Both this sign-off and Metal Shop Basic sign-off are required to use the welder independently (without supervision).

Note: If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, that is a safety violation and you will not receive a refund.
