TM Metalworking Workshops - Classes & Trainings
4-Day Metalworking Intensives
Our 4-Day Intensive has been attended by hundreds of students over the past 20 years. It’s a unique opportunity to learn metalworking in a production environment, while meeting other metal enthusiasts, and taking skills to the next level. See photos...
Metalworking Fundamentals
This workshop was created specifically for those with limited experience working sheet metal (shaping, repair, fab) who didn’t feel quite ready for the 4-Day Intensive, and who want to focus on the basics such as using hand tools. See photos...
Using Forming Machines
Many students requested a class that would expand upon the machine skills taught in the 4-Day Intensive. Kent developed this class to help them further their skills and produce more complex parts using the English Wheel, Air Power Hammer, Pullmax, and various shrinking machines. See photos...
Rust Repair & Patch Panels Training
Rusted steel body panels can be a restorer or customizer’s nightmare – but simply grinding the paint off and filling the holes with Brillo pads and Bondo aren’t the best methods for making repairs! Kent’s Rust Repair class covers several methods for making sound, durable repairs on rusted-out areas. See photos...
Welding, Brazing & Soldering Workshop
Being able to solder, braze, and weld effectively with the O/A torch is one of the most useful skills in the metal shop. This course focuses on teaching students to be able to determine when to use which method, and how to feel confident using an O/A torch with any metal. See photos...

Kent has presented a number of workshops in Alaska, for both private groups, aircraft companies, vocational programs, and trade shows. Included here are a small selection of photos from past programs held in Anchorage, Kenai, and Fairbanks. See photos...
San Antonio, TX Workshops
When teaching in San Antonio, Kent typically co-teaches his workshops with George Schroeder (Metalmorphosis Studio). Classes have ranged from 4-Day Intensives, to 3-day courses on Forming Machines, Using the Air Power Hammer, Metalworking for Artists & Sculptors, and the Art of Sheet Metal Shaping. Here are just a few photos from workshops held at George’s studio. See photos...
Shannon, Ireland Workshop
One of Kent’s favorite workshop programs was one he taught in Shannon, Ireland at the UPS MRO station. Not only were the people wonderful and the area charming and beautiful, but he sincerely enjoyed the enthusiastic interest from this committed group of technicians. See photos...
Delta Airlines: Technical Operations Center
Kent was the first outside instructor ever brought in to train sheet metal repair technicians at the Delta TechOps Center in Atlanta. Their huge ATL facility is a full-service MRO, and covers nearly 2.7 million square feet (the size of 47 football fields). See photos...
AirVenture (Oshkosh)
Kent presented training programs at AirVenture (Oshkosh) for over a decade on topics ranging from damage repairs, to tank construction, sheet metal fabrication, making one-off parts, and welding techniques for aircraft. Here are a few photos from Oshkosh over the years. See photos...
