Tonight we wrapped up our Mind Over Metal Camp. A huge thanks to The Home Depot Foundation Canada. Who showed up for the celebration, and gifted 🎁 all participants with new power tool sets. Home Depot Canada 🙏🙏

This custom Legacy Board is off to Bissett Manitoba. Over the last couple of months my students designed and built this 1 ton structure. It will display pictures of a 100 years of Gold mining history. Thank you Bissett!! For giving my students this opportunity. #skilledtrades

Happy holidays everyone!! We are wrapping up our last day in the welding shop with a little breakfast feast. It’s not often we get BBQ weather on Dec 22nd. #mealsonmetal #projectbasedlearning

Always looking for environmental friendly solutions. My students have now built a oven to bake linseed oil on their projects such as fire pits, smokers and pizza ovens. This process protects the metal better then high heat paint. #weldingforthefuture

Trayvon, grade 11 welding student extrodinair 😁. Has just finished this newly designed pizza oven. This is gonna look great in someone’s backyard. #mealswithmetal #welding #wsd1

When your program gets a call from a Harley guy looking for a yard sign. 😀#studentwork #creativelearning #wsd #weldernation

May 5 is National Day of Awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-spirited People. This year my students will not just be talking about it. They will be welding about it! #MMIWG2S #projectbasedlearning

My students had the pleasure of working with William Whyte’s design team this year. The students and admin team were looking to improve the schools appearance. First phase completed. #wsd #vocationaleducation

R.B. Russell’s welding students have been getting ready for pride week. Showing our support with metal and fire. #vocationaleducation #welding #winnipegschooldivision

Vocational exam week at RB Russell! Grade 11’s are working hard on their 6 hour practical exam. Read, measure, think, fabricate and weld! #voced #welder

Tomorrow is day 2 of the cell phone ban. So I teamed up with Bulk Barn tonight to try a new strategy. I’m sure you can guess how well day one went. 🤔

The second week of school is underway, and students are already dropping F bombs in the welding shop! 😂

Big day in the welding shop! Our new RB welding hoodies have arrived. 😁 these hoodies cannot be purchased. They are earned on attendance, effort, and courage. #wsd #voced #weldernation

Project testing day in the welding shop. Maple wood Smoked pork tenderloin! My grade 12 advanced metal design course students, are currently building themselves one. My hands look like I’m a giant. 🤣 #meatandmetal #wsd #voced

When it’s not hard to tell that one of your welding students has a new crush. 😍😂 #weldingbrokenhearts

My students have been busy over the last month. They have designed and built 5 metal firewood racks, capable of holding 7.5 cords of 🪵 wood for the garage in our parking lot. Including this custom metal wood shed for the sweat lodge in our courtyard. #wsd1 #voced #justweldit

Shoutout to the Plumbers & Pipefitters local #254 for trusting in my students to build them a custom pizza oven. They dropped off a box of old parts and tools that we were able to incorporate. #vocationaleducation #weldernation

A BIG thanks to Steve and the rest of the gang from 254. They picked up their custom pizza oven and decked out Larry with some new gear to show their appreciation. #254 #welding

Super proud of these 2 grade 12 students!! R.B. Russell High School took first place in this year’s CWB fire pit design and fabrication challenge competition. These students dedicated 2 months of persistence and effort to pull off this ratrod fire pit win.🔥 #imagenitweldit

Most recent R.B. Welding project. William Whyte School was looking for a bench. This will be a welcoming addition to the front entrance in September. Thanks for thinking of our welding program. #wsd #weldlife #williamwhyteschool #schoolscollaborating
