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. You’ll use a hand-held plasma cutter to create parts of the tree in 16-gauge steel (roughly 1/16 inch) and then weld the pieces together with Metal Inert Gas (MIG) tack welds.
