Over two hands-on sessions, you'll learn how to weld while building a sturdy, functional fire pit complete with a built-in wood storage shelf underneath. Guided by a retired professional welder, you'll get personalized instruction from tacking your first joint to finishing your final weld.
Learn welding fundamentals and start tacking and welding your fire pit together.Finish welding your project.
Your finished fire pit will measure approximately 20–25" tall and 28" x 28", built from durable 3mm (1/8", 11ga) hot rolled steel — ready to use in your backyard for years to come.
All supplies and safety equipment are included, along with expert guidance every step of the way. No experience required — just bring your enthusiasm and leave with a piece you'll be proud of.
