About
Create a dramatic, three-dimensional, five-pointed metal star to decorate a wall or maybe the side of a barn or garage. To do that, you'll learn the basics of how to use a pattern and follow the order of operations. You'll get familiar with the tools and the techniques used in the sheet metal shop and learn how to use the basic hand tools, as well as cut and bend sheet metal with the manually operated shear and brake. You'll also use the spot welder.
Details
The minimum class size is three. If only one student has registered 48 hours before the class, the class will be cancelled.
Project
You’ll make a five-point star 24 inches in diameter from galvanized steel. You can paint it later, if desired.
