Forge Welding 2-Day Class 2017-is FULL!

Instructor: Dave Mariette
Maximum students: 8, Minimum: 5
Forge welding. So, you’ve seen it done. It looked so easy. Why doesn’t it work for me, you ask?
David will seek to dispel the mythical mysticism that seems to surround this technique, and give you the tools you need to begin forge welding. Like many things there is no magic bullet. It is a compilation of doing everything right, not just one thing.
Starting from the ground up learning to manage heat, you’ll start with some basic welding, and as you gain some experience moving in to a few more advanced welding configurations. Some solid basic forging experience would be beneficial.
Safety Equipment – The usual. Eye and ear protection. No flammable clothing. Leather work boots. Since we are forge welding and there will be more sparks than usual, students should dress with that in mind. Bring an apron if you have one.
Tools and Equipment: As part of the cost of the class, students will be provided with their own wire brush and a 1 LB can of EZ Weld.
Lunch arrangements: bring a bag lunch or visit one of the area restaurants.
