TIG Welding a 4-Legged Sitting Stool

Class Description

The goal of this 2 session class is to take your welding ‘to the next level.' Now that you know how to attach metal pieces together with a TIG torch, we will focus on planning a project, making a cut list, preparing the metal, order of assembly, tacking & welding, troubleshooting, and how to gracefully correct (or hide) mistakes. This 19” tall “sitting stool” will be assembled from 4 legs of 1 inch square tubing (capped with “weld feet” and leverers), with smaller cross members and an angle iron frame on top. For a seat, I have used wood, metal, and upholstery - we will discuss options.

Students must have previously attended an introductory course in TIG welding at A2, or similar, and preferably a “metal shop 101” type course. Students must be 16 years old or older. Students under 18 must be accompanied by and under the direct supervision of an adult.
