I took Introduction to Metal Shop at 3rd Ward in Brooklyn, New York. Taught by Joey Grimm, I learned to MIG weld, opperate a plasma cutter and several types of grinders and sanders. The goal of the course was to create a shop stool of Joey Grimm's design, unless we had a design of our own we wished to execute. As an Industrial Design student, I took the oppertunity to create my own stool.
Technical drawing (1:1) done directly on the shop floor in soapstone. This enabled me to lay steel bars directly over the drawing to quickly figure out the proper angles of cuts.
