An introduction to metalworking
Lazar and Mitchell meet Jones, who explains welding and plasma cutting. They talk about interest in classes.
Shira Lazar visits Molten Metal Works in Glendale, California, with Ryan Mitchell, also known as TheSlayGawd. Neither has welded before. Founder Matt Jones explains that welding joins two pieces of metal by melting them so they flow together, and says he will introduce them to plasma cutting.
Jones describes a plasma cutter as using electricity to melt metal and compressed air to blow the molten material through. Lazar and Mitchell joke about using the tool in a heist movie. Asked about interest in the craft, Jones says television shows and schools’ interest in STEM can bring people to the workshop as industrial shop classes disappear from some schools.
Jones mentions a Friday evening introductory class, and the visitors prepare for a tour. In the front shop, he points out a bicycle-frame building class and a participant making a frame. They also look at examples of furniture projects, including a side table, bench and possible dining table.
Touring the workshop
Jones shows classes and projects, including bicycle frames and furniture. The group prepares protective equipment.
Before the plasma cutting demonstration, Jones has the visitors put on gloves and goggles. He shows the machine, describes its capacity and points out a computer-controlled cutting system nearby. For their lesson, they will use a handheld cutter.
Using a plasma cutter
Jones demonstrates the cutter and the pair try it under supervision. They reflect on the experience.
Jones explains the electrical connection and compressed air involved in cutting steel, though Lazar jokes that she is having trouble following the technical explanation. After the demonstration, he cautions them not to pick up hot metal from the ground and gets a jacket for the hands-on portion.
Lazar admits she is scared, but with Jones guiding her she tries the cutter and makes a heart. She says the process was less frightening than she expected. Mitchell then tries it as well, and they react to the feeling of controlling the powerful tool.
Afterward, Lazar calls the experience exhilarating and says it relieved stress. Mitchell agrees that focusing on the task and handling the tool felt powerful. They thank the workshop for hosting them and encourage viewers to explore their curiosity.
