@dryad2b I would be down for a quick one-on-one refresher. When are you going to be at the space?

#11

I can do one in about 10 days. Just give the nod.

#12

@Russell_Crow throw me a DM when you put it up please?

I am very interested I both mig and cnc plasma classes and would definitely sign up. Once I got good and comfortable on them I would also be willing to help teach others.

#16

I can’t put up the Plasma Classes in 2/22. I didn’t realize my auto-debit didn’t go through on 1/27, and my membership is cancelled. I get signed up again in March and add classes then.

I’ll throw one up that day for the 22nd.

Everyone keep an eye out; something should hit the calendar in the next few days.

Does cash work? When can we meet up?

#22

Yes. We can pay the kiosk. Sunday afternoon sometime, after 2pm?

#23

Continuing the discussion from Welder Refresher and CNC Plasma training:

Would 3 pm work for you on Sunday? It Father’s Day so I have to hang out with the family😊 a little.
I was reading a post about metal shop PPE… what do I need to bring? Good, gloves, flame retardant shirt?

#24

You want both? For the MIG, you will need to be wearing a natural-fiber shirt and pants. Flame retardant isn’t an issue – just no melting. Natural shoes or leather spats to cover meltable ones (like most sport shoes or trainers – all plastic). If you’ve got a nice pair of welding gloves, that’d be good. We have loaners. Just wash your hands before and after.

3 pm will be fine.

#25

Whilst we recommend FR if you have it / can get it, the minimum requirement is head to toe coverage, including shoes, in natural fibers (such as 100% cotton or real leather). For hoods we always recommend people get their own, but know that for some they’ll need to use our loaners. Bring alcohol based disinfectant spray and a clean skullcap or balaclava to wear under the hood. Do not use bleach cleaners on any welding supplies.
For gloves you can get a cheap starting pair from most welding suppliers.

We have a 10% discount setup around the corner from the space at WallyWaldo (where they also sell FR facemasks). Just give them the Dallas Makerspace as the account name.

In shirts and pants (and socks – just ask @hon1nbo) look for content. Spandex and polyester are insidious.

Thank you for the list of i teams

#28

Yes if you have time for both… not sure how much time it will take… a little back ground about me, a long, long time ago when I was in high school. I took 3 year of metal shop and wood shop as electives. I never did anything with professionally, plasma and mig didn’t exist then… it was all torches and angle grinders. I am really looking forward to learning something new.
