SMADC Workshop: Farmer Welding Skills for Practical Applications

Workshop Summary:

Farmer Welding Skills for Practical Applications is a hands-on, four-hour workshop designed to teach farmers fundamental welding techniques with a focus on real-world farm repairs and projects. Participants will learn safety protocols, basic welding methods (such as stick, MIG, and TIG welding), and practical skills necessary to repair or build farm tools and equipment. The workshop includes guided practice on scrap metal, a step-by-step project fabrication, and finishing techniques. Each participant will leave with a completed farm-specific project, a welding toolkit, and the confidence to undertake future welding tasks independently. This event fosters practical skills, community connection, and increased farm independence. Dinner will be provided, offering an opportunity for community building and engagement.
