Metal Sculpture Workshop

We are going to go over the use and safety of the 110 MIG welder, and the various grinders in the shop.

Study the above tutorials. Before you start welding anything useful, spend an hour or two getting to know the welder. Practice on the recycled flat stock in the welding shop. Vary the power settings and wire speeds so you can tell what happens when the settings are wrong as well as when they are right. Try over and over until you can get a good weld.
