Overview – Metal is one of the most versatile materials a maker can work with. From forged sculptures and welded furniture to machined parts and clever shop projects, metalworking combines technical skill with creative problem-solving.

In the Metal Contest, we want to see what you can build using steel, aluminum, copper, brass, or any other metal. Whether you’re fabricating something practical, crafting a piece of art, or experimenting with new metalworking techniques, this is your chance to share your process and inspire other makers.

Show us your welding, forging, machining, casting, bending, or cutting skills. Document your build, highlight the techniques you used, and give the community a look at how you brought your idea to life.

Fire up the welder, heat the forge, or start shaping your next project.
