Welding: 4 basic techniques

369,00

Learn how to weld by just having a go and experience the skill required. The 4 most widely used welding techniques are tried out and discussed, as well as preparation, safety and some of the (im) possibilities when constructing metal objects. Learn what the weld pool, welding arc, angle and timing do for your weld. To speed up the process, we’ll start each evening with a bit of theory. After that, you‘ll be better able to set up the machine and work on your own skills.
