WELDING STUDENTS Jeff Middleton (on the left), and Connor Reed (on the right), recently made this custom table for a class project.

The tabletop was made from reclaimed barnwood that was flash-burned, and then clear coat was applied. They used tig-welding techniques to put together the other parts and then to attach them to the tabletop.

And all that only took them two weeks to do while still doing their regular classwork! Nice piece guys, you better get an "A grade" on this one!

Are you interested in being able to produce pieces like these, and a lot of other welding magic? Take a look at our website and see if a career in welding is for you: nwti.edu #nwti #welding #weldersworld #tigwelding #nwarkansas #springdalear #tradeschool #technicalschool

FIX IT FRIDAY! Starring our Automotive Repair Technology students - including our high school techsters.

Do you notice what all the pictures (except for the building photo) have in common? Let's make that a rhetorical question; they're all elbow-deep into their respective projects! Hands-on/hands-in; that's the NWTI way.

If sitting behind a desk isn't for you, maybe a career in auto repair technology is. Talk about essential workers, how would we stay on the roads without you? Learn more on our website: nwti.edu.

Coming next week: Industrial Maintenance Monday! #autoservice #automotive #automotiverepair #bringbackthetrades #NWTI #nwarkansas #springdale #IndustrialMaintenance
