2-Day Intensive MakerClass | Ages 14+ | No Experience Required

Learn the fundamentals of welding while building a project that’s equal parts skill-builder and showpiece. In this two-day, hands-on MakerClass, participants will create a decorative steel “log” complete with a plasma-cut axe detail—a perfect project for display, gifting, or entering in 4-H metalwork competitions.

This class is designed for beginners and focuses on safety, confidence, and real-world fabrication skills. Whether you’re exploring welding for the first time or preparing a project for fair, you’ll gain hands-on experience using professional equipment in a guided shop environment.

What You’ll Learn:
Shop safety and proper use of PPE
Introduction to welding equipment (MIG welding)
How to strike and maintain a clean weld
Intro to plasma cutting for decorative elements
Grinding, cleanup, and finishing techniques

Day 1 (5 hours):
Safety training and shop orientation
Practice welds and skill-building exercises
Begin fabrication of the log body and supports

Day 2 (5 hours):
Continue welding and assembly
Plasma cutting and installing the axe detail
Final grinding, cleanup, and finishing touches

Who This Class Is For:
Ages 14+ (youth and adults welcome)
Beginners with no prior welding experience


What’s Included:
All materials and consumables
Use of welding and plasma cutting equipment
Step-by-step instruction and support
Your completed project to take home

Required Attire & Safety Expectations:
Participants must wear shop-appropriate clothing:
Closed-toe, leather shoes or boots (no athletic shoes or synthetic materials)
Long-sleeve cotton shirts (highly recommended)
Denim jeans or durable pants

Clothing should not be your best items. Welding produces sparks and heat that can damage or permanently mark fabric. Dressing appropriately is essential for both safety and comfort in the shop.

Why Take This Class: 
This class is a strong starting point for anyone interested in welding, metal fabrication, or skilled trades. You’ll walk away with both foundational welding skills and a finished project you can be proud of—something that clearly shows craftsmanship, creativity, and effort.
