Practice pieces

If you use glasses for reading or other close-up work, please bring them---welding involves a lot of small detailed work. We have welding jackets for your upper body, but please cover all the skin on your lower body with clothing made of natural fibers (cotton, linen, wool, denim, etc.) and wear closed-toe shoes. Please do not wear loose-fitting clothes, please tie back long hair, and expect to remove any rings or dangling jewelry.

Students must have completed Metal Shop 101 OR TIG Welding 101 OR have similar welding experience.
