Overview

Metal is a dependable material that can be decorative and utilitarian. There is so much that can be crafted with it that makers of almost every skill level can try their hand at bending, welding, casting, smelting, or hammering it. For the Metal Contest, show off the fun and innovative ways you create with metal!

Great prizes from Miller Electric Mfg. Co. are up for grabs including a Multimatic™ 215 Welder, Classic Rise Welding Helmet, and Miller hats! Get out to your workshops, craft rooms, and garages and begin your builds!

Try your hand at something new, or brush up on old skills with the Welding and Metalworking Classes from Instructables’ experienced makers!
