  Start or complete a fabrication project with expert guidance, produce a metal art piece, repair something broken, learn by helping someone else on their project. Get advice on a project you're planning.

  If you’re welding skills are a bit rusty, use the time to practice a process (MIG, TIG, Stick), and/or learn how to use hand tools (grinders, clamps, etc.) and shop power tools (shear, brake, saw, etc..).

  $35/person, invite friends, family, co-worker. The shop will be open from 12:00 to 8pm, come for all or part of the day.

  Feel free to bring all materials necessary to construct your project, but also, some raw materials (angle, tubing, sheet metal, etc.) will be available for sale at near cost. As always, there will be plenty of scrap material for practice and salvaging. Contact in advance if there’s something specific you’ll need. Stephen@redmountainmakers.org  

  NOTE: This is not intended as an intro to welding class, but if you're unsure if welding is for you. Attending this session should help you to answer that question. 

  What to wear: At RMM, you must dress safely and appropriately. Arrive for class in all-natural fiber clothing (100% cotton), long pants, and closed-toe shoes . We will provide flame retardant jackets, gloves and welding hoods. If you wear glasses for reading, please bring them. If you can't see,  you won't weld well. Long hair must be tied back. Nylon, polyester, spandex, or other synthetics are not allowed around machines, equipment, or processes that can produce hot fragments, sparks, or flames. 

  About the Instructor: Stephen Charles is a former Welding Engineer with many years of experience in production welding and custom fabrication. He has taught hundreds of beginners in the basics of welding and fabrication. Also, he’s pretty funny, so if you don’t have a sense of humor just laugh when everyone else does and no one will notice.

  Age: there are no age restrictions to the class, though minors must be supervised by a guardian whom is also in the class so they can observe them at all times. Please read carefully the disclaimers and guidelines and contact us with any questions or concerns.
