Function + Creativity = Taco Stand

Learn mad introductory fabrication skills while building your own taco (complete with all the fixin’s and a display stand) during this welding/ manufacturing camp!

Taco builders will use (at least) the following tools:

• GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding, aka MIG welding, aka wire welding)
• PAC (Plasma Arc Cutting, aka light saber)
• Oxy-acetylene torch with rosebud (for heating/bending)
• Oxy-acetylene torch welding tip and brazing rod
• 14″ chop saw
• 4.5″ variable speed angle grinder
• other tools as needed

OVERVIEW

• ALL classes begin with safety! Participants will be taught to use all tools. Demonstrations and practice time are provided.
• We normally provide a small group setting of usually no more than 10 people so that everyone can get the individual instruction and attention they need.
• We provide all safety gear including safety glasses, welding jackets, gloves and welding helmets.
  • FYI: if you already have your own safety glasses that fit you perfectly, you are welcome to bring them. Otherwise, we provide standard ANSI-approved safety glasses that are yours to take home.
• This class is co-ed.
• Kids from ages 8ish to 17  are welcome to register. If you have questions about younger kids, please call us. 🙂
• WHAT TO WEAR: jeans, cotton t-shirt and closed-toe shoes (leather shoes or boots preferred; tennis shoes are OK; no sandals); please ensure ankles and feet are completely covered. T-shirts or tank tops are fine as you will be wearing a welding jacket on top.
• Water, tea and light refreshments will be provided both days. Naturally, a delicious taco lunch will be provided
