design processes, basic types of
equipment, and practice a variety of
welding skills ultimately getting a
chance to create a product of their own
choosing.
With limited quantities of equipment
and space, the shop is set up in stations
and students rotate through in groups
to give each student the opportunity
and the time to experience the use
of various tools used for different

on to arc use in Tig welding. A favorite
