Metalwork Classes 

There are two strands within Metal Work 11: Jewellery or machining and welding. Students can take both courses. There are no prerequisite courses for two of the three grade 12 courses offered. They are both available to grade 10, 11 and 12 students and are the route all students can take to develop hand skills in the metal work area. 

 

Metalwork 11 – MTMET11 

(Open to grade 10, 11 & 12 students) 

Several skill building projects will be prescribed to ensure conceptual understanding and project quality. Students will then use designing processes to produce drawings of the products they wish to build. The focus will be on bonding and welding of metals using oxyacetylene equipment and in due course the MIG welder. The safe use of power and hand tools will be taught throughout the course. Shaping and forming of sheet metal, tubing, plate metal and wrought iron will be the norm. Students may provide their own materials for advanced project work.
