Metalworking Project
The metalworking project is designed to help young people learn how to build and design metal projects.
Members will learn about different welders, welding techniques, and metal by participating in the experiences of this project.
All project manuals are received through the Larimer County 4-H Extension office. These will be distributed to 4-H members through their organizational leaders (club leaders) after enrollment is complete.
4 -H Record Books are also called e-Records. Each project has its own record book that members are required to complete each year. The links to e-Records in the specific project areas are below. Record books are turned in at Interview Judging before our County Fair. In June, you will need to schedule an interview for each of your project areas and bring your record book with you to Interview Judging the week of the Larimer County 4-H Fair.
We have more information about how to fill out your record books here.
Project units are designed for members 8-18 years old and will inspire youth to:
- Understand the proper personal protective equipment for welding
- Be able to identify the different weldable metals and the different shapes of metal stock
- Identify the five different types of welding joints
- Understand the various methods to cut, bend and shape metal
- Understand the three most common welding processes
- Construct a project of metal using the information and skills learned
