Metal working is a vast subject, and a useful one.
To get into it, in our workshop we have everything you need to cut, grind and electrode weld.
Simple and very versatile processes.
We’ve already seen several makers having fun with sparkles.
We saw them making furniture and mechanisms in our lab.
We will show you how to set up and dismantle your work area, how to use and maintain shared tools and, supported by more experienced makers, we will accompany you step by step to create your first frame.
We will also give you fundamental tips on your personal safety and that of the people around you.
Then you can begin your steel and iron-based project, in complete autonomy.
During the workshop we will address various topics:
- preparation of the work space
- bench grinder
- rasps
- drill press
- drill bits
- angle grinder
- electrode welder
- manual hacksaws
- blades: maintenance and replacement
- set square
- protractor
- support for profile cutting
- dismantling, cleaning, disposal
