About

This class is the second in the TIG welding series to be taken after the TIG #1 class. It will progress from making a basic TIG bead to the techniques and practice required to make TIG welded joints.  The class will focus on how to perform different kinds of TIG welds – butt, lap, “T”, corner, and edge. 

TIG welding requires more dexterity and practice than MIG welding. Students are encouraged to use open studios to practice their technique and develop confidence.

The goal at the end of the class is to feel comfortable with the operation of the welding machine and the TIG welding process in performing different welds.
