MIG welding (metal inert gas welding) is one of the most versatile arc-welding processes, and one of the easiest to learn when first getting started.
In this course, students will learn the step-by-step process of MIG welding mild steel, including proper safety attire, prepping material, setting up the machine, and some basic joinery methods.
All skills level welcome, especially beginners & folks just starting to explore their interest in metalwork. All you need is a computer and a good internet connection!
