DESCRIPTION:Learn how to use a MIG welder with a CO2 tank to create profess
 ional welds!\n\nThis course features MIG180: a 180 Amps MIG Welder from Pr
 imeWeld:\nhttps://primeweld.com/products/mig180-mig-welder-with-spool-gun\
 n\nThis machine is still hobby-friendly (and budget-friendly) but a major 
 step-up in quality from wire-feed welders. The techniques that can be taug
 ht with this MIG welder are also more sophisticated.\n\nThe instructor\, J
 ason Moore\, is a seasoned welder who also plays drums in a local metal ba
 nd and is always stretching his skills by taking on advanced projects requ
 iring precision and special techniques.\n\nCtrl^H provides two welding hoo
 ds\, one set of gloves\, and an apron for participants - if you are seriou
 s about welding consider bringing your own hood to maximize chances that o
 ne is available for you. There are several welding supply stores in the ar
 ea\, and Harbor Freight on Mason St may sell them as well (you can always 
 return if you change your mind).\n\nFor anyone not wearing a hood\, the in
 structor will yell just before welding so you can look away or otherwise s
 hield your eyes. You can also watch for when the instructor puts the hood 
 down as a signal.\n\nEvent page: https://events.pdxhackerspace.org/occurre
