Materials fee: $TBD payable in class

Our Northwest winters can wreak havoc on wooden fence posts. But when the posts have decorative metal caps, the rain runs off and the wood doesn’t rot. In this class, you'll learn to design and make post toppers suitable for square, rectangular or round posts. The caps can be pointed or not, depending on your bird-watching desires. If you want to make numerous caps, you will be able to follow through during the metal shop’s open studio times.  Please note that post caps are made from galvanized steel and then primed and painted to resemble copper.

The materials cost will vary depending on the style and size of the caps you make.

The Sheet Metal Studio will be open Wednesdays & Thursdays from 4 pm to 6 pm for open studio time to finish any class projects.

No prior sheet metal experience is required, although it will be helpful to have taken the two-hour Sheet Metal Safety & Orientation class, offered every Wednesday, July 6 through Aug 31, from 2-4 pm and 6-8 p.m.

Instructor: Jack Archer spent a career in sheet metal work and now heads BARN’s sheet metal programs. Contact Jack with any questions:  jackswines@gmail.com
