Learn to TIG Weld HANDS ON!

Since 2016, The Fabrication Series has offered hands on TIG classes to anyone looking to learn more than just the basics in the least amount of time. Our curriculum is game changing with a rapid pace and focus on immersive learning. We dive straight in welding with the goal of making sure that you understand what you are doing and can confidently repeat it long after the course is over. In just one day of learning in our class, you could be on your way to stacking beads with the best!


TIG Classes at Primeweld!

We’re bringing TIG Classes to Blackwood, New Jersey for a LITMITED time!

We’re hitting the road! After years of teaching in Las Vegas at our headquarters, we have learned that even though Vegas is easy to get to, it’s not always the most practical for budgets. So we decided to head to the east coast and set up shop at Primeweld headquarters in Blackwood, New Jersey, just outside of Philly. Justin will be teaching the same Aluminum & Steel course as we do at TFS, but we get to be closer to the majority of the US. It’s a win-win!

Class dates and seating are limited! Reserve your spot now!

TIG Classes at TFS in Vegas!

Learn to TIG at the home of The Fabrication Series in Las Vegas, Nevada!

After a few year hiatus due to running out of space, we have brought back our in person TIG classes at The Fabrication Series headquarters in Las Vegas, NV. Justin & the team have worked to revise our already acclaimed curriculum to make our classes better than ever with reduced theory and lecture time which means MORE hands on welding during our exclusive rapid & immersive based training program!

In other words… you learn a whole lot more in just one class!

  • 9 hotels within 1 mile

  • 2 hotels within 1/4 mile

A few notes about staying in Vegas from a local native….

  • Hotels on The Strip (Las Vegas Blvd) are VERY expensive. Most booking sites do NOT show the full price. Additional taxes & “Resort Fee’s” are added at check-in regardless if you use the hotel amenities or not. You can NOT get the fees waived.

  • Off-Strip hotels are often less expensive and often do not add additional fees (double check before booking)

  • TFS is located across the street from Allegiant Stadium and hotels generally inflate rates during event weekends (games, concerts, etc.). Be sure to check events prior to booking

  • Rideshare services are better than taxi services. If you choose a taxi, do not allow the driver to take you the “fast way” as they drive a longer distance on unnecessary routes (like on freeways and interstates which is 100% not a direct route to TFS)

  • EVERYTHING on The Strip is expensive. Food is 3-4x, drinks are 10x, and bottle of water can be $20 or more. The best food/drink/entertainment is off of The Strip. Any local bar, restaurant, food chain, outlet, etc. is in Vegas and 10x cheaper if you go to any location off of Las Vegas Blvd.

  • TFS is located in an industrial complex which does not have a lot of food choices near it (basically nothing walkable). It is recommended you bring a lunch or order food for delivery. Sometimes Justin is able to transport people for lunch, but please don’t depend on him in case he is not able to leave the shop during lunch time.

  • It gets really hot in the summer (over 100 degrees F) and really cold during the winter (often below freezing). We get 2 weeks per year where it is really nice out. We require pants and closed toe shoes during our class even though the weather outside might not match the outfit. Please plan and dress accordingly.

FAQ’s

What is the dress code?

Pants and closed toe shoes are REQUIRED. If you do not have at least those two items, you will NOT be permitted to attend our class under any circumstances. Even if you tell us that you are a dedicated lifetime wearer of shorts and sandals and you can not for any reason abide by the dress code at all times, you will be denied a seat. Plain and simple. NO EXCEPTIONS

We also recommend long sleeves to protect your arms from UV rays. If you arrive in short sleeves, you will be provided a set of arm covers to be used for the duration of the course.

What do I need to know before the class?

We have put together all of our theory and lecture portions from previous classes in a series of videos. It is expected that you know and understand what is in those videos before attending the class. The playlist is emailed to you once you book a class, but you can also find more detailed write-ups here.

What skill level is required to attend?

Any. None. Pro. Newbie. Hobbyist. Director of education at a welding school. Doctor that builds cars on the side. Retired. Interested. Not sure if welding is the right path. Current student at another school….. name it!

We have literally trained just about everyone. We work with your current level and go from there.

Who teaches the classes?

Justin & staff teach the classes in Las Vegas. Due to Justin’s busy schedule, he might be absent for a portion of the class periodically, but always sits down with everyone for a bit of 1 on 1. Justin also answers questions, takes pictures with fans, gives demos, and takes time to chat about welding.

Classes not held in Las Vegas are guaranteed to have Justin present.

Am I too old to learn?

Not if you can hold a torch. The oldest attendee we had in class was 92. It’s never too late to learn.

Can I bring my own gear?

YES! We strongly recommend it so you will be most comfortable while you train. HOWEVER - if your gear is considered cheap or unsafe (knock-off hood brands like Yeswelder, Harbor Freight anything, No-name Amazon specials, etc.), or anything we determine to be a potential hazard, you will be provided our gear.

The calendar says 9 hours but it says the class is only 8. Why?

The total time is 9 hours which accounts for a 1 hour lunch break.

What happens if I can’t keep up with the rest of the class?

Don’t worry about it. Everyone learns at their own pace. If you fall behind, we’ll keep you going either way. While you might not make it through all the exercises, we’ll still help you understand the lesson and get you as far as we can.

What happens if I decide it’s not working and I want to throw a pouty little fit during the class?

Do whatever you want as long as you’re not disruptive to others in the class. If you pay us to throw a fit, we will leave you alone to pout and mope and do whatever. You can re-join whenever you are done. We are here for those who want to learn and we will devote our time to them. Yes, this has happened and we wish it didn’t, but now those people know what is going to happen if they act a certain way. No exceptions.

Can a minor child under 18 attend?

Yes. However, adult supervision is required. If you and your minor child wish to learn at the same time, you will both be required to purchase a seat.

Can seats be split or divided between 2 or more people for short durations?

No. The price of the class is for one seat occupied by one person.

I can not stay the entire time. Can I only attend a short portion of a class?

Yes. However, the price is still the same. You are booking a seat for the entire duration.

If you let us know ahead of your class, we may be able to allow you to skip some portions and only focus on what you want to learn. Please contact us before to discuss it.

Is there rental gear to use?

Yes. We are able to provide welding hoods, sleeves, and proper TIG gloves for the duration of the class. We do recommend that you bring your own approved gear. If you are not sure if your gear is approved, just bring it with you and we will either let you use it, or, provide you with ours. You MUST wear pants and closed toe shoes - NO EXCEPTIONS.

How do I get asked to leave a class?

If we suspect that you are under the influence of any substance - you will be asked to leave, This includes hangovers and strong sleep depravation from “too much Vegas” the night before. You will be rescheduled for a future class.

If you are rude or disrespectful to our staff, guest instructors, or affiliate staff - you will be asked to leave. We will not refund or reschedule you for a future class.

If you pose a significant safety concern where we feel that you will end up injuring yourself or others - you will be asked to leave. We will refund you.

I am from outside of the USA. Can I still attend?

Of course! The current record holder for longest distance traveled is over 12,000 miles. Some people have traveled to our Vegas location just for the class! We welcome everyone.

My English is not very good. What can I do?

We do not have translators available for you. We recommend you understand the basic terms and sayings (in English) in order to attend. This is primarily for your safety.

Can I bring a translator if I do not speak english?

You may bring a translator, but they will not be permitted to weld. They may be near you to translate as needed and they will also be required to abide by the dress code. NO EXCEPTIONS

How can I get a TFS Class hosted at my warehouse/shop/business?

Contact us. We would like to hear more about your location.

Please note - a minimum of 5 complete dedicated welding stations with modern equipment in good condition are mandatory for consideration.

Can Justin come to my school class and teach?

Possibly. Please contact us with more info about your school.

What if I have more questions?

Give us a shout. We’ll answer them.
