SUMMARY:Basic Electric Welding for Blacksmiths
DESCRIPTION:There are times when a blacksmith needs to assemble parts or make a tool when traditional joinery is inefficient. In this class we’ll cover the basics of MIG and Stick Welding while fabricating a simple “Smoosh-O-Matic Guillotine Tool with one or 2 sets of dies. This guillotine tool works well to complete the ABANA Level 1 and 2 tenoned joint requirements.
