Welding for Auto restoration 6/21/2015 10 am section 5

This class will equip you for all manner of automotive welding, whether you want to weld in a floor pan, patch panel, or learn to weld up accessories for your vehicle.

We will show you how to weld thin (20 guage) materials and thicker materials, up to 5/16ths using the type of MIG welding equipment typically available to enthusiasts working in a home shop.

We will demonstrate and help you use TIG welding equipment so that you can determine which process suits you.

Thinner materials are very difficult to weld. Your chances of success will be greatly improved if you use chill plates, back up bars, clecos, flanges and dogs. In other words, you will learn tools and techniques used by professionals to generate results as easily as possible.

Cutting, fitting, and grinding can all either improve or eliminate your chance of success, we will show you the tools and techniques that are appropriate to your work environment and budget.

Class will be taught in a structured but relaxed manner. You can expect to spend the bulk of your time "hands on" developing and improving your skills and comprehension.

We supply all tools, materials, and equipment required for the class. Please wear heavy shoes and long pants.

Class is not intended for project work please do not bring in something for "one little weld" seriously.

This class will be taught as a series. You can attend every class or drop in to a given class that is most relevant to your needs.
