Future Builders School
Building Futures - Building Lives
Weld Long Enough, Cut Yourself, And You’ll Bleed Flux
The Future Builders welding and metal theme helps students build skills in metal working, processing and welding.
Students start with lessons on safety learning how to use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and the best shop practices for tool use and procedures. We learn how to identify various metal and the respective properties of each. Students start learning how to set up the M.I.G. Welder and tune it for the material being used. Proper position is stressed and starting practice beads are progressed into longer runs.
An environment of teamwork is fostered yet also provides room for personal projects. This year we have produced sculptures of birds, turtles, dogs, boxes, ice chisel and scoop as well as hobby rocket that flew over a thousand feet. Students will learn and demonstrate competency on tools such as the grinder, abrasive chop saw and oxy-acetylene torch.
