Students will be introduced to beginning welding techniques and metalworking. Students will learn a variety of processes, including oxy/acetylene welding, MIG welding (GMAW), torch cutting, plasma cutting, and the use of metal shears, benders, grinders, punches, saws, and drill presses. If students are interested in learning other processes, such as TIG welding (GTAW) or stick welding (SMAW), they will be given special instruction and opportunity to practice on their own. Students will be given an opportunity to complete an artistic project of their choice. Supply list will be handed out and discussed at the first class.
