Welcome to Way of the Wrench, a channel that is dedicated to creating entertaining and educational videos about anything and everything cool in shop class. Metalwork projects, fixing/modifying vehicles, welding, arcade cabinets, medieval armor, pulse jet engines, miniature engines, go karts, and much more. My entire life has been spent learning new skills and now I would like to share my skills and experience with my viewers. I love this stuff so much, I decided to go into the trades and become a red seal Tool and Die Maker (a Machinist that makes stuff that makes stuff like molds, punch presses, and machines). I am now a high school Technology Teacher and my job is to get people excited about working with their hands, making cool projects, and connecting theory to real life practical applications in cool and meaningful ways. When I am not making stuff, I teach Metalwork, Automotive, Welding, Drafting, Woodworking, Robotics, and Electronics. Wanna learn how to make/fix cool stuff?
