10BitWorks Heavy Metal Hackers Welding Class - Safety and Overview Part 1
Channel: zunkworks
Date: 2012-10-15

"This class will address safety equipment and general welding tools, and be mostly an intro to the following classes [See Part 1 http://youtu.be/Se3_lUUZdlk]. We'll review the many non-metal methods currently being used - such as cardboard and tape, plastics, PVC, and other flimsy stuffs - and the ways that they could be replaced with superior metal craft. I have so far broken it down into 5 or 6 core skills that could benefit the back-yard or hackerspace tinkerer. I will give a demonstration of each, and provide information about the equipment, materials, costs, and associated safety gear necessary to get into each of the subsequent classes a little deeper. (Without your own safety gear, you'll have to sweat-share some of my stuff if you want to participate! And I may simply not have enough goggles for all to even watch! So this class can whet everyone's appetite and we can talk about exactly what is needed, safety-wise, and what is the best-buy for the money going forward to the other classes!) The practical app portion will involve physically examining all of the tools in my arsenal [See part 2 http://youtu.be/c8KuO5iufnU]. I will also demonstrate as many of the methods as time permits." - KC
