"Why is Weldor's Workshop the right choice for me?"

Look around you.
Everything you see that's "built-to-last" probably took some form of welding to earn the reputation.

Welding is ground zero for aeronautics, infrastructure and manufacturing. With ever advancing technology increasing the demand for quality metal working, brazing, torch cutting, plasma carving, fabricating and arc welding skills (just to name a few), welding isn't going anywhere.

Launch your career with a Certificate of Completion from Weldor's Workshop.

Time to get welding!

Our GMAW class begins each month: 4 hours per day, 3 days per week, 4 weeks per course, spanning 48 total hours of high-speed, hands-on learning.

Our Goal here at Weldor’s Workshop is to teach the applied science of welding through hands-on technique.

We believe that thoroughly understanding the processes of machine operation and the terminology associated with it is core to developing preventative maintenance and troubleshooting skills that are in high demand.

In a fast paced environment, we are looking not only to provide information and improve skills, but we also hope to become a post educational resource for our students who have completed our program.

MIG/GMAW

Weldor's Workshop is a private organization. We are not state accredited; instead, we have built our reputation from the ground up at the local level through old-fashioned hard work and dedication.

That's the way we want to stay!

We want to maintain a simple and affordable application process that uniquely serves our community.

MIG/GMAW Welding 101

4 weeks

3 days per week (T W Th)

4 hours per day

1:00pm - 5:00pm
or 6:00pm - 10:00pm

MIG and GMAW are acronyms describing the same welding technique. "MIG" stands for Metal Inert Gas and "GMAW" stands for Gas Metal Arc Welding. It involves the use of electricity to melt a metal flux onto a surface where it hardens to form a strong bond. The weldor holds a MIG "gun" which does three things all at once. It releases the flux wire fed to it by machine, serves as an electrode for high voltage electricity that melts the flux, and releases an inert gas to shield the flux from oxidation while hot. The gas, the metal, and the electrical arc.

The full MIG/GMAW course at Weldor's Workshop is four weeks long. We work hands-on with flat and tubular carbon steel materials to cover American Welding Society's recognized positions 1FG through 4FG.

Safety glasses and gloves included.
Jackets and Helmets available.

MIG Fundamentals of Welding

1st week

3 days (T W Th)

4 hours per day

This week is designed for everyone. We cover basic tech as well as the science of welding.

Subjects include:

Safety Practices, Machine Breakdown, Filler Material and Shielding Gas Chemistry, Bead Descriptions, Weld Identification, Polarities, Metalurgy, H.A.Z.

MIG Intermediate Welding

2nd week

3 days (T W Th)

4 hours per day

This week comes after you have the basics under your belt. We review previous activities with the goal of building muscle memory, hand stabilizing technique and ergonomic body positioning. The week is fast paced with a lot of interaction and examples from the instructor.

MIG Advanced Welding

3rd week

3 days (T W Th)

4 hours per day

This week is designed for people who are ready to become a weldor. We practice each position/angle and focus on what works best for you. This fast paced week aims to maximize hands-on time in the booth to achieve your personal goal with expert feedback along the way.

Stick/SMAW Welding 101

4 weeks

3 days per week (T W Th)

4 hours per day

6:00pm - 10:00pm

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) or "Stick" welding is the oldest form of electrical welding still widely used today. Rather than using an inert gas to shield the welding pool from oxidation, SMAW uses a metal already coated with shielding material which is fed by a hand-held electrode clamp.

Safety glasses and gloves included.
Jackets and Helmets available.

SMAW Fundamentals

1st week

3 days (T W Th)

4 hours per day

During fundamentals week, we will talk about the strengths and weaknesses of Stick welding. SMAW is effective in harsher enviroments where gas shielding isn't possible. It also tends to be less expensive. On the other hand it tends to require greater dexterity, and because of increased spatter can be difficult to use on thinner materials.

SMAW Horizontal/Flat Welding

2nd week

3 days (T W Th)

4 hours per day

Stick welding uses your muscles differently from other forms of welding. Developing a good sustainable posture is especially important for the longer times that stick welding typically takes.

SMAW Vertical/Overhead Welding

3rd week

3 days (T W Th)

4 hours per day

Welding is difficult when gravity is working against you, especially with the high spatter associated with Stick welding. All the challenges of horizontal surfaces are magnified here. Some of them may be unexpected such as: maintaining visibility of the weld, learning the personality of your individual machine, and staying comfortable.

SMAW Pipe and Specialty Projects

4th week

3 days (T W Th)

4 hours per day

This is probably what you were waiting for, right? If something is called a "project", that means it probably has some irregular contact points that are challenging to weld. This is where the versatility of a good stick weld really comes in handy.

TIG/GTAW Welding 101

4 weeks

3 days per week (T W Th)

5 hours per day

1:00pm - 6:00pm
or 5:00pm - 10:00pm

TIG and GTAW are acronyms describing the same welding technique. "TIG" stands for Tungsten Inert Gas and "GTAW" stands for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding. Tungsten has the highest melting point of all pure metals. TIG involves the use of electricity to melt a tungsten flux onto a surface where it hardens to form a strong bond. The weldor holds the flux in one hand (similar to Stick welding), and the TIG gun in the other. The TIG "gun" serves as an electrode for high voltage electricity that melts the flux and also releases an inert gas to shield the flux from oxidation.

The full GTAW course at Weldor's Workshop consists of Fundamentals week, Steel week, Stainless Steel week and Aluminum week. TIG welding is a fine art, commonly used when welding thinner or more delicate materials.

Safety glasses and gloves included.
Jackets and Helmets available.

TIG Fundamentals

1st week

3 days (T W Th)

5 hours per day

The first week covers the basics of trade vocabulary, machine setup, torch assembly and safety. You'll get troubleshooting advice on how to visually diagnose common welding deficiencies caused by: oxidation, torch angle, torch distance and travel speed.

TIG Steel Week

2nd week

3 days (T W Th)

5 hours per day

The second week covers Mild Steel, which is typically welded using MIG or Stick, but if you need precise control over your Heat Affected Zone (HAZ), TIG is what you'll be using. This week will showcase the important differences between TIG and MIG on common materials.

TIG Stainless Week

3rd week

3 days (T W Th)

5 hours per day

The third week covers Stainless Steel, of which there are many alloys formed by combining steel with chromium (and sometimes other metals). You will learn how to select filler material depending on what metals are being bonded, and practice the fundamentals.

TIG Aluminum Week

4th week

3 days (T W Th)

5 hours per day

The fourth week covers Aluminum, a light weight, highly heat dissipating and chemicaly resistant metal. You will take on the unique challenges of the material, such as: the oxide layer, physical/chemical preparation, arc-wander and achieving adequate penetration.

Oxy-Acetylene Safety 101

2 weeks

3 days (T W Th)

4 hours per day

6:00pm - 10:00pm

An Oxy-Acetylene torch uses a mixture of acetylene and oxygen gas to create an etremely hot flame that can be used for cutting or for melting flux to produce a weld. Because the combustible fuel and oxygen are both combined, the torch doesn't need oxygen in the air to burn and can even be used underwater.

The Oxy-Acetylene Safety course at Weldor's Workshop is two weeks long. You will learn the science behind one of the the world's oldest torch cutting/welding techniques and apply it using the fundamentals of brazing and soldering.

Safety glasses and gloves included.
Jackets and Helmets available.

Spool-Gun MIG 101

2 weeks

3 days (T W Th)

4 hours per day

6:00pm - 10:00pm

The Spool-Gun MIG technique employs the same science as MIG welding, but while using an aluminum spool attached directly to the gun itself. It is most often used to weld aluminum, and uses higher concentrations of heavy inert gasses to protect the weld.

The spool gun wastes less wire has less feed resistance since the spool is closer to the gun tip. It often allows you more dexterity and quicker weld speed.

Requires previously completed MIG/GMAW course.

Safety glasses and gloves included.
Jackets and Helmets available.
