RCLUB Member Mike Grosdanis has decades of experience as an autobody professional, and he's learned just about everything there is to know about welding. Mike has kindly offered to lead a small-group welding workshop. Members will have a mandatory welding safety briefing and demo, followed by the opportunity to do some hands-on MIG welding work.
You'll leave with an understanding of the art and science of welding, and the ability to tackle basic jobs with supervision (provided you have access to your own or shared equipment - please note that RCLUB does not have shared welding gear).
Please feel free to bring any small scrap metal pieces you'd like to work with.
We'll order lunch so you can have a bite before the session begins.
IMPORTANT
We are splitting this workshop into four parts to keep the groups small and safe.
The June, August, October, and November MIG Welding Workshops will be identical in content, so please don't sign up for more than one session.
Cost
$25 + HST/attendee includes lunch
*We are running this series of workshops at a nominal cost to cover lunch and to discourage last-minute cancellations.
