Beginning+Intermediate Steel Work I | CSC 141-W27

This course is appropriate for both beginners trying their hand at steel work for the first time and those with some experience looking to refine their craft. This is a project-driven course where each student will design, plan, and execute their creative vision with the help of the instructor. Techniques covered will include welding, hot and cold forging, cutting, grinding, and finishing, essentially any technique that is needed to complete the desired form. Come with an idea in mind or just with curiosity and we can design a project together. Material will be limited to 1/2 inch square stock, so be thinking in lines. Make tools for your fire pit, a stylish trellis for your garden, or whatever else you can imagine.
