*Must know how to lay down a bead*
This 4 hour course focuses strictly on the ins and outs of Aluminum TIG welding. This course is designed to provide as much hands on touch time as possible. Along with practicing on various joints and material thicknesses. At the end of the class you will get a project to take home and practice on that will give you 4 hours of weld time! Last time we held this class it sold out, so sign up in order to reserve your spot!
Topics that will be discussed are:
- Electrode Negative VS Electrode Positive
- Puddle Consistency
- Material Thickness
- Tips on Frequency (how it changes based on joint configurations)
- Key points on becoming a better aluminum TIG welder (material prep, tools, ideas)

This was a great class and just what I needed! It was more than an intro class where you just lay a bead and brings you to a point where you can actually make something. The small class size with lots of hands on time means you get good feedback about what you are doing wrong and how to correct it.
United StatesGreat Class!!!
Very helpful !! Would recommend to anyone wanting to weld aluminum.
United StatesIntroduction to Aluminum Tig Welding
This class really provided much more than I ever expected. Gabe was our instructor and his approach and demeanor really worked well for the individual welders. Having hobby experience at best, I was extremely impressed on how the fundamental things that we all see on YouTube videos came into practice once someone was working with you. The simple direction of "hotter, hotter" or "too fast" changed how I looked at welding Aluminum. I took home the kit/puzzle and worked on it for the next 4 nights which honed in my skills while it was still fresh. Bottom line, for those of you that are looking to improve your skills as a novice, this is a GREAT class. If they offer a more advanced class I would certainly attend. Thanks Gabe and Nicole, well done!
United StatesAluminum class
At the beginning of class I was just melting aluminum, by the end I was putting down some pretty good beads. They zeroed in on my mistakes and had good corrective recommendations. I still need practice but I received a lot of good information. Thanks
United StatesTIG Class
I have welded a fair amount with TiG but had never welded aluminum before the class. I have the same welder we used in the class so I was hoping to get some basics to use at home and practice. The class was small, provided great information and offered lots of hands-on practice. Gabe did a great job explaining concepts, techniques, and tips that made it easy to understand and easy to accomplish the tasks given. I was very pleased with my aluminum welds by the end of the class and walked away with a new skill. I would definitely recommend this class. Thanks!
