What do I need to learn to make something like this?

Hi!
I’ve never done any metal work before … so I’m waaaay out of my depth here.
I’m interested in learning how to make something like this for my home gym.

Besides learning how to use a saw that can cut metal … i’m assuming welding. But, what kind? Is there training coming up?

Regular old MIG welding is all you would need for this. But don’t expect to save money in the project. Unless you get lucky at a scrap yard it is easy to spend more than $100 on materials.

yes … but then I wouldn’t learn how to weld :smiley:

is there anyone that is planning to teach mig welding? or I could talk in to it … and help me figure out what I need to buy for the project?

I’ve been teaching mig welding recently. I’ll get another mig class scheduled in the next 10ish days. You need hot process safety class first so I’ll schedule welding after @dryad2b has time for another hot process class

I’ve got 2 spots left in the Hot Process safety class this Sunday at 1 pm.

Thanks for the heads up!
How often does this run?
I may not be able to make it this weekend.

Semi-quasi-regularly?? We’ll see if you can make it, and if not I’ll run another class. If you don’t make it, then we’ll need to see about weekdays. Scarborough Faire opens 4/10, so my weekends will be gone for a couple of months.

I could find time during the week. Just not monday or tuesday nights.
Should I PM you?
