SUMMARY:Intro to Metalworking: Build, Weld, Create
DESCRIPTION:In this six-week, hands-on series, students will be introd
 uced to the fundamentals of metalworking through guided projects and p
 ractice. You’ll learn the safe use of a MIG welder, angle grinder, a

 . By the end of the course, each participant will complete a functiona
 l project of their choice—such as a small box with a lid or a broom 
 with a dustpan—while gaining skills that can be applied to future me
 tal fabrication projects.\nThis workshop meets Tuesdays, November 4 â€
