I was hoping to find out what tools are restricted for us until training is complete. I am also curious about the restricted items in the metal shop

Metal shop has the following restrictions:

welders (hot process safety then a machine class or a sign-offs for prior experience)
plasma (hot process safety then a machine class)
the large powder coating oven (spot train or the general hot process safety)
the fixed grinders (QR code self-train)

The DMS TOOLS page of the wiki (upper RH corner menu) has a good listing of what requires training. It’s probably about 95% accurate. It’s also a great resource that links to many manuals, spec sheets, and some videos.

(Make sure you use the right link. The LHS link goes to WIKI tools, not DMS tools)
