Requesting a Welding Safety Course

For anyone that took the TIG class, here’s the consumables for the Lincoln TIG torch if you wanted to buy your own. Here is the big kit of all of the parts. I didn’t cover gas lens in the class, but if you see me around in the space I’d be happy to show you how they work as well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018G84KNA/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The tungsten we were using was this kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H0M1838/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and …
