About

Practice basic welding techniques and tool use for cutting and grinding after learning basic safety practices and protocols.

Then you'll be in a two-hour workshop using salvaged garden tools (see pictures) from "Henry's Junk Pile" and any materials participants bring for being creative and having fun with metal. The instructor will be there to assist and problem solve, but the creativity is up to you! You'll walk away with some basic techniques and whatever you have created. 

“It may not be art, but it should be entertaining.”

Details

  • Skill level: All levels welcome.
  • It's a great opportunity to use any salvage you may have, so bring it in and augment your creation.
  • BARN will provide personal protection equipment.

Details

There's no materials fee as all materials are from "Henry's Junk Pile." You should bring any steel cast-offs you have that are waiting for their next life as fodder for your creations. Here are some images of the salvaged metal we have available:
