The Advanced Welding class recently took on a trailer project that needed minor repairs and wheel bearings packed.
Trailer projects are assigned to the juniors in the class, giving them valuable hands-on experience in wiring, welding repairs, and properly packing wheel bearings.
They did an excellent job, showing strong skills and attention to detail!

Advanced Welding students have been hard at work creating some impressive projects!
Roenn Ruzicka purchased a trailer that was originally started by students during a summer school project. He then took it to the next level, completing it as one of his Senior Projects in Advanced Welding.
Tucker Hughes also showcased his skills by building a custom toolbox designed to fit perfectly in the back of his pickup.
Great work by these students demonstrating craftsmanship, creativity, and real-world skills!
