About the event
Create your very own 3D sheet metal sign! During this class, you will turn a sheet of metal into your own custom set of numbers and letters. You will be guided on the process of creating your design to fit the sheet metal to be cut on the CNC plasma cutter. Then you'll create depth to your letters and numbers and then MIG weld them together! By the end of this class, you'll leave with your very own custom metal sign!
This class is part of our Making Metal: Basics of Metal Fabrication Class Series! This class series focuses on all the basic skills of metal fabrication from designing your projects to using a CNC plasma cutter to welding. You can take just a few of the classes to gain some skills or take the whole series to learn all the basics! This class is moderate in its difficulty and will cover the skills of basic design, CNC Plasma Cutting, and MIG Welding.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to wear natural materials (no spandex, nylon, etc.) and long pants that cover your boots or close toed shoes. We'll provide the rest of the safety gear you'll need.
