The welding space can only accommodate one project at a time and its on a first-come first-served basis. There is only a limited amount of MIG welding gas provided by HS, and no Argon. You will have to provide your own gas if you want to complete any significant projects. This also includes other consumables such as electrodes, welding gloves and other protection.


People who come along to the Wednesday Metalbashers and help with the running of the workshop sessions will get priority to whatever training may be available.  
Given the single welding station and lack of trainers, we have found that best way to get initial training for new or welders or people who are coming back to welding is to go to the introductory welding sessions run by Adam at Can of Gas, Details here.

Once you have attended one of the courses we can then spend a little time to get you up and running on the work equipment.


If you are interested, its advisable to contact the mailing list before attending to see if other Metalbashers will be attending on any given Wednesday.

The journey through this equipment will usually start with MMA or Stick for the basic skills and the move on to MIG and perhaps TIG, based on progress with the easier techniques and completed projects. Previous demonstrable experience will be taken into account.

If patience is not a virtue, you may also wish to contact these guys who also offers introductory welding sessions, which can be used to help demonstrate welding capability.
