In this class you’ll learn the basics of stick welding, how to execute weld repairs and be capable of creating craft fabrications. Stick welding uses the least expensive and most durable equipment of all the welding processes. That low financial barrier is why  it's so popular with hobbyists, farmers, and craftsmen.

It is however one of the more difficult processes to master, but don’t worry you can do this!

What to wear: At RMM, you must dress safely and appropriately. Arrive for class in all-natural fiber clothing (100% cotton), long pants, and closed-toe, closed-heel shoes with socks that protect up to the ankle. Long hair must be tied back. Nylon, polyester, spandex, or other synthetics are not allowed around machines, equipment, or processes that can produce hot fragments, sparks, or flames. Additional protective gear will be provided as needed. The CDC has a guide to acceptable cloth masks that help prevent the spread of infection.

About the Instructor: Stephen Charles is a former Welding Engineer with many years of experience in production welding and custom fabrication. He has taught hundreds of beginners in the basics of welding and fabrication. Also, he’s pretty funny, so if you don’t have a sense of humor there will be many moments of awkward silence.
