About
Try plasma cutting and welding while making a metal evergreen tree. You’ll cut the shapes out of flat sheet steel and weld them together. And you’ll use a hand-held plasma cutter to create parts of the tree in 16-gauge steel (roughly 3/32nds) and then weld the pieces together with Metal Inert Gas (MIG) tack welds.
Details
No welding experience required.
Project
A metal tree 16 to 18 inches tall
