Introduction
Hi everyone, My name is Ryan Seymour and I am the instructor for the Weld 100A Intro to Metal Fabrication course. What is metal fabrication? Metal Fabrication is the interpretation of technical drawings and layout of metal components, cutting, burning, sawing, shear, punching, drilling, and shaping of those components, through to assembly and welding or fastening to create the finished product. This is not a welding class and no welding will be preformed in this class.
