Have an idea for a metal fabrication project? Have you taken the intro to welding class or have previous experience? This lab is your opportunity to make your idea into reality with assistance on materials, design and use of tools.

How to prepare

What will you get out of this class?

This lab will provide intermediate level welders who have already taken the intro to welding class or have previous experience, to work on there own projects with the assistance of instructors. The labs will also give students a chance to refine their welding skills with the goal of ultimately getting checked off for working un-supervised with the MIG welder and other metal shop equipment.
