My favorite class by far my entire high school career has to have been metal shop with Mr. Visciano. I took that class in my sophomore year and I took it again in my junior year. All we did in that class was learn how to operate certain pieces of equipment. We also learned how to weld and how to work with all of the machinery with safety. We were able to create many different things using metal and the equipment. I was able to create a Bills lamp which turned out really cool. I took sheet metal and cut the Bills logo out of it. I welded the logo to three different brackets and then I spot welded blue lights onto the back of it. That was only one thing I did. I also created a metal shelf. That didn’t work out to good because the shelf was way too heavy to hang on the wall. After that I created a coat hanger. All I did was take a long piece of .5in. stock metal and used that as the back. I bent three separate pieces of metal into hooks and welded them on for the hangers. I also made a house number sign for the front of my house. I used wood for the actual sign though. I burned the numbers into the board. All in all, this class was amazing because there were no rules on what you could and could not make. You were free to make anything you wanted.
