WELD THIN SHEET METAL WITH CONFIDENCE

First-of-its-kind online interactive metal shaping course—simplify welding thin sheet metal and eliminate burn-throughs and warping!

LEARN. WATCH. MASTER

Hi,

My name is Jordan Bennett, I’m a self-taught metal fabricator. I have over 20 years of experience through trial, error, and persistence. 4WDs and hot rods have been my canvas. My goal is simple. I want to share all the metal-shaping knowledge I’ve gained, so the tips, tricks, and techniques I’ve learned can live on and inspire others.

"Over the last 20 years, I've made many mistakes welding thin sheet metal. I'm no master fabricator, but I've dedicated countless hours to honing my craft. Back then, I didn't have the option to learn these skills online. I learnt the long & hard way. This 1-week course changes that. I'm passionate about sharing my sheet metal knowledge with those eager to learn and improve."
