Introduction:

Learn how to build and repair tubular steel projects using a MIG welder! Perfect for beginners and a great refresher for experienced welders, this hands-on course covers welding painted and galvanised steel, along with practical fabrication techniques you can apply to furniture, gates, railings, trailers, and more.
You'll start with an introduction to different types of welders before focusing on the versatility of MIG welding. Along the way, you'll learn about gas and gasless setups, different metals and weld types, common troubleshooting tips, and how to set up a safe, effective workspace.
With plenty of hands-on practice, you'll develop effective skills in welding, grinding and fabrication, while creating your own square tubular steel plant stand to take home.
