About
After learning basic safety practices and protocols, you'll get to practice basic welding techniques and tool use for cutting and grinding.
Then you'll be in a two-hour workshop using salvaged garden tools (see pictures) from the Rotary Auction 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 highly recommended that you bring any salvage you may have to augment your creation.
Materials
There is no materials fee as all materials are from Rotary. You should bring any steel "junk" you have that's waiting for it's next life as fodder for your creations. Here are some images of the salvaged metal we have available:
