We offer Private Metal Shaping & Fabrication training by request. This is intended for those who may have a project, or part of a project that they would like to bring in to the shop for assistance. It is also ideal for those who want to further their skills in a very specific area, or who may just need some "refresher" shop time.
Private training is offered as schedule permits, and there is a three-hour minimum. Materials, as necessary, are charged in addition to the hourly rate. Tuition is $75 per hour for one student, $125 per hour for two students. No more than two students may attend at one session.
When you sign up / enroll, please submit 3 potential dates (with times, preferably) that will work for you. Please check these dates against our regular class schedules, because those are black out dates for private training. Many students, however, chose to enroll in a scheduled class and add a day, usually at the end of the class session for indivdual, private training.
If you have questions about private training, or want to check availability, please contact us here

The bullseye pick was originally designed for the collision / dent repair trade, and also works very well for restoration projects. In our trade, custom metal shaping & fabrication, they are ideal for the fabricator who needs to metal finish the area surrounding a weld seam on fabricated body work. With a 15 inch throat, it is handy to use in hard-to-reach areas such as around gussets, braces, and other blind areas. The open site gives the user a clear target for the tip to strike, and each pick comes with a standard and blunt tip to suit your style or material.
These bullseye picks feature quality U.S. construction throughout; including a 1/2 inch bar stock frame, comfortable foam grip, and nickel plated finish.
