Molten Metal Works, LLC
Learn to Weld and Build Projects for YOUR life
at LA’s Only Community Metal Shop
FIRST: MMW does not do testing, certification, or professional training. If you want to get certified, go to LA Trade Tech (they’re great).
At MMW, the classes are for the community, with project-based classes in furniture-making and sculpture, and classes in specific techniques that might help you on the job or get the job done, whether that’s learning to MIG weld, TIG, or use a plasma cutter. Classes are nights and weekends, fast-paced, and reasonably priced.
We help you build projects for YOUR life, whether that’s a kitchen table you’ve always wanted, a piece of sculpture that’s been kicking around in your head, or a bbq grill that’ll get you ready for summer. And if your schedule is crazy and you can’t make a class,or if your ideas are crazy and I haven’t made the class, we also offer private and group lessons.
About the Shop
MMW is about 1200 sq feet, filled with metalworking tools: MIGs, TIGs, Oxyacetylene, 36″ shear, 24″ finger brake, horizontal and vertical band saws, benders, rollers, plasma cutter, 2 drill presses, and about 600 lbs of hand tools (not quite a ton). And if you don’t know what those things are, we’re happy to show you. That’s what we’re here for. We’re not the best welders in the world, but we’re damn good teachers and willing to share our knowledge, skill, and shop with you, whether that’s teaching you to weld, make a table, or build a bicycle.
