Prior welding experience, such as the Intro to MIG class, is required for this course. 

In this welding project class, under the guidance of a fabrication instructor, you will learn and apply basic fabrication skills while constructing a functional footstool (16"x16"x12") using 1” square tubing and 1/8" sheet metal. The focus of the class is to learn a variety of functional metal working skills; how to read a measuring tape, proper fit-up technique, distortion control, how to ensure a square, and finally the opportunity to apply your welding skills in welding and grinding your project stool. 

About the Instructor: My name is Jon Webber. I've accumulated 10 years experience working as a production welder and eventually owned my own fabrication business. I look forward to passing on some of what I've learned to the next generation of welders and hobbyists alike! The best part of this class: You'll not only your improve your skills, but also get to take your impressive foot stool home when you're done!

What to wear: At RMM you must dress safely and appropriately. Arrive for class in all-natural fiber clothing (100% cotton), long pants, and closed-toe, closed-heel shoes with socks that protect up to the ankle. Long hair must be tied back. Nylon, polyester, spandex, or other synthetics are not allowed around machines, equipment, or processes that can produce hot fragments, sparks, or flames.
