About

Both absolute beginners and those who have taken Welding: TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) #1 can benefit from this class, where you'll progress from making a basic TIG bead to the techniques and practices required to make TIG-welded joints. You'll learn how to perform different kinds of TIG welds – butt, lap, “T,” corner, and edge.

TIG welding requires more dexterity and practice than MIG (metal inert gas) welding. You're encouraged to use open studios to practice techniques and develop confidence. The goal at the end of this class is to feel comfortable with the operation of the welding machine and the TIG welding process in performing different welds.  

Details

  • Limited to four people to facilitate one-on-one learning and direct mentoring.
  • You'll have the use of a fully equipped TIG welding station.
  • BARN will provide personal protection equipment.

Details

A $20 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers steel coupons, gas, tungsten, and filler rod.

Class Policies

  • Ages 14 and up are welcome.
  • Wear closed-toe shoes, as well as long-sleeve shirts and pants made of natural fiber. Stretch fabrics are prohibited.
