In Fundamentals of Fabrication, students learn how to use a variety of tools to bring their projects to life. Here’s one using a foot-controlled shrinker stretcher to create curved metal strips for their custom bowl stand project. A shrinker stretcher works by compressing or stretching the edge of sheet metal, allowing fabricators to create smooth curves and complex shapes without cutting and welding multiple pieces together. It’s a valuable skill used throughout metal fabrication, restoration, and automotive work.

Projects like these help students develop hands-on experience with real fabrication techniques while building confidence in the shop. Great work by the class! We’re looking forward to seeing these bowl stands come together!
