In our shop programs, you'll learn real-world skills through hands-on projects. We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern fabrication techniques to give you a solid foundation in manufacturing and design. Whether you're interested in automotive technology, welding, or digital fabrication, you'll develop skills that last a lifetime.
Automotive Technology
Learn how vehicles work from the inside out. You'll rebuild engines, understand automotive systems, and gain practical knowledge about vehicle ownership and maintenance. We go beyond just turning wrenches – you'll also learn modern fabrication techniques like 3D printing and CNC machining.
Metals Fabrication
Master the fundamentals of metalworking through real projects. From welding to precision measurement, from metal shaping to CNC plasma cutting, you'll develop skills used in industries ranging from construction to aerospace to art.
I bring a maker's mindset to both programs, combining traditional techniques with modern technology. This means you'll not only learn essential hands-on skills, but also understand how digital tools and design thinking enhance our capabilities in the shop. Every project is an opportunity to solve problems, think creatively, and build something real.
