TIG Welding Class for Beginners: Los Angeles

Note, this is a two evening class on Tuesday with a second meeting on Thursday . It is a full class split in two sessions.

TIG Welding Made Easier.

Tungsten Inert Gas welding or TIG for short is welding in the slow lane. From your motorcycle frame to the International Space Station anytime human life is at stake or if aesthetics are important or both, you break out your TIG welder. It is a bit harder to master but believe me it is worth putting the effort in for what you get in return. I guide you through the process so you can get comfortable working in a whole different world than you're used to where it can be hard to see and you tend to wield the tool with a heavy hand. As your personal trainer I can catch what you are doing wrong and break any bad habit before they become bad habits.You'll be TIG welding steel by the end of the day.

This workshop introduces you to the equipment and process and techniques for welding metals the TIG way. Though you can weld mild steel with a TIG welder it is mainly used to weld reactive metals like Aluminum or high chromium metals such as stainless steel. This process yields welds with more consistent heat penetration, higher quality welds but it is more difficult to master and it is a slower process. To be successful you need to understand the variables and how to set up the machine and the task. When trying to learn by yourself or through Youtube you can end up being stuck in an endless loop by reinforcing bad techniques or poor set ups. With guided instruction to keep you on track you are able to achieve better more repeatable results, in less time. The effort is well worth it with the quality and strength of the welds.

You can use the TIG process to do repairs on your bike where appearance is as important as strength. You can use it to fabricate art, furniture, movie props and DIY car restoration enthusiasts. You can then weld the segments together, grind and polish the welds and make them disappear. But that will take a bit of time and practice but the process is only limited by the imagination.

Is it possible to learn the Tig welding process in only one day? It is possible to learn the fundamentals of the basic hand techniques with this intense one on one instruction which you simply won't get at a trade school with over 30 students. By getting observed direct feedback as to what you are doing wrong can you get on a path to consistency that over time will lead to a higher skill level.

After the intro you are welcome to come into the shop for open practice time without supervision. We have hourly and monthly memberships to fit all budgets. In this way you can build your skills very quickly.

You will be working on state of the art inverter welders. As part of the class I will also offering live reviews of some of the best imported and affordable inverter welders on the market.

Tuition for the class is $285 and this includes material and supplies. I will provide helmets, jackets, gloves and tools. You do not need to bring anything.

About the instructor:I learned the craft in trade school and went into the service where I worked as a fabricator and learned knew skills and machinery. I have been blessed to be exposed to a number of trades and over the 25 years I have worked as a prop fabricator for the film industry continuing to hone my MIG and TIG skills. This is one of the best and most useful skills I have ever learned and it will serve you for your entire life.
