Outdoor metal fire pit

The workshop on creating a modern metal fire pit from boiler steel is designed for anyone interested in practical metalworking skills and who wants to create a durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing product for home use. It is intended for individuals with basic knowledge of welding and the use of multifunction machines who wish to enhance their skills.

The goal of the workshop is for you to independently create your own metal fire pit while also training in the use of a plasma cutter, mastering MAG welding techniques, learning sheet metal processing, and understanding the assembly of metal constructions. The workshop is an excellent opportunity to gain in-depth practical experience in MIG/MAG welding.
