Meet in the Metal Shop
About this Class
This class is the certification class for the Metal Shop at Make Salt Lake. In order to use the tools provided in Make Salt Lake's Metal Shop, all members must take and pass this beginner class. The focus of the class will be on general safety and shop rules. Proper use and instruction will be given on the use of the Drill Press, Saws, Angle Grinders and the Plasma Cutter tools.
The certification will provide information on proper safety but will include minimal instruction. It will not train you to use the tools, but it will certify you to use the cutters and grinders and the flux core welder. It is designed to test members on their ability to practice proper safety techniques.
Members seeking in-depth training and technical instruction should enroll in the Welding 101, TIG Welding or Forge 101 classes, after completing this General Safety Certification.
Safety Equipment
Please bring proper attire. Synthetic clothing is flammable, and difficult to extinguish. Please choose clothing and footwear made from natural fibers while in the metal shop. Cotton, leather, denim, or flame-retardant work wear are all good options. Please bring safety glass. We do have some for purchase in the makerspace store if you do not have your own.
