About This Workshop
In this weekend class, students will have the opportunity to build two matching side tables for their home using wood and metal. Many woodworkers look to others to provide the metal elements for their creations. It can be hard for woodworkers to find a metal fabricator that will put the same quality of craftsmanship into the metal elements for their creations that they have put into the woodwork. This class is for the woodworker who wants to open the door to the beautiful world of mixing metal and wood, without the problems of finding a good fabricator, or trusting a welding shop to match their quality craftsmanship. Ben and his brothers will demonstrate how to work with metal including cutting metal, welding metal, fabrication technique, preparing metal for finishing, basic knowledge of available metal products, how to choose which metal to use for a project, and basic metal terminology. This class will provide the knowledge necessary for any woodworker to successfully fabricate metal components in their own workshop; even with basic and limited tools. Knowing how to weld and fabricate not only opens the door for woodworkers to mix metal and wood in their creations, but also to fabricate tools for their workshop.
