Knowing how to weld is like having the having a super power! Just like "THOR", you will harness the power of lightning at your finger tips to create anything you want (out of METAL)! I mean, if my 10 year old can do it, anyone can! During this one day class, students will learn basic METAL WORKING SKILLS (including how to weld) then build a small one-of-a-kind SCULPTURE PROJECT TO TAKE HOME. DETAILS: Students will be briefed on safety. The instructor will demo use of a manually operated "Plasma" machine which cuts METAL LIKE BUTTER. Instructor will then train students on the use of electric grinding and sanding tools. Instructor will demonstrate welding then, with close guidance each Student will get to "mig" weld. Student will then design & build a small project from a selection of scrap METAL, and/or using a METAL PIECES THEY CUT OUT. Review the gallery of photos for project ideas and happy students! ALL SAFETY GEAR AND SUPPLIES WILL BE PROVIDED TO EACH STUDENT. All gear will be sanitized prior to your arrival. Students must wear clothing made of natural fiber (not synthetics) and must fully cover arms, legs, feet, and chest. Long hair should be braided or in a pony-tail. If you use eyes lenses (even to read) bring them. NO ONE has ever been hurt during this class! Nonetheless, a waiver must be signed prior in order to participate. We will take a 40 min break, please provide your own lunch. I can offer drinks. A refrigerator, toaster oven and microwave are available on site. REQUIREMENTS: 10 years old (by year end) minimum age. Must be able-bodied and strong enough to handle use of hand-held electrical tool such as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_grinder [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_grinder] --------- CANCELLATION POLICY: For Refunds, a request to cancel must occur 24 hours prior to scheduled class date otherwise, a "Credit" toward a future date will be granted or it can be gifted. Message me if you have any questions. I look forward to teaching you!
