In this comprehensive class at Saskatoon Makerspace, students will learn the basic skills and techniques needed to safely and effectively use the shop's metalworking tools and equipment. Through a combination of instruction and hands-on practice, participants will learn how to use cutting tools such as the metal bandsaw and angle grinder, as well as welding and fabrication techniques such as MIG welding, grinding, and finishing. The class will cover topics such as material selection, project design, and safety protocols. By the end of the class, students will have created their own small project and will have a foundational understanding of the principles of metal fabrication. This class is suitable for beginners with little to no experience in metalworking or welding. All materials and tools will be provided, but students are encouraged to wear appropriate clothing and footwear for working with metal.
