A close cousin to locks are security seals and defeating them can be just as much fun as lock picking. If you need to detect if something has been tampered with in your absence then you want to understand what makes some seals better than others. We’ll cover many types of seals along with their pros and cons. We’ll also get into ink technology, chemistry, and how this relates to counterfeit product detection among other areas. Virtual workshop includes a seal practice kit delivered ahead of time.

The outside world is rough - sun, rain, freezing temperatures - they all conspire to require a normal heavy bag be set up indoors or hung and taken down with every use. Solution: Tires. Tires are built to live outside and allow for the bag to be made heavier or lighter. Come make your own tire heavy bag to add to your outside gym. All materials provided.

Plant towers are a vertical garden that can house 50+ plants in 4 sq ft of space. Plant towers also contain a composting tube to allow users to easily return their vegetative waste back to their plants.

Participants will build their own plant tower and compost tube from a recycled food grade barrel. 2 hour class. All materials provided.

Part project class, part safety/skills training—this class orients you to the several fabrication tools Bloominglabs has to offer, as well as MIG welding techniques—culminating in a handmade metal stand. If you have ever wanted to learn about the metal shop, this class offers a realistic look at cutting, forming, welding, and finishing steel. Participants will learn the safety protocols, setup, and usage of several cutting tools to cut and form steel stock. They will practice setting up precise cuts, and then work to set these parts up in a way to accurately weld them together. Welding technique, safety, and finishing are offered in the 2nd half of this 4.5 hour class. Participants MUST come to class prepared with long sleeve shirts, long pants, a stocking cap or head covering, and leather closed-toed boots. Additionally, due to COVID-19, participants are expected to bring their own PPE which includes safety glasses, leather gloves, hearing protection, and wear a face mask but Bloominglabs does have some to borrow and isopropyl for cleaning.

Come explore our woodshop and learn woodshop safety, how to work from a design, the basics of working with wood, how to use tools (table saw, band saw, drill press, radial arm saw, and hand drills), and how to finish a project with sanding and sealant. This workshop is structured around using all the big-project tools in our woodshop while creating workbenches for Bloominglabs. You'll develop a familiarity with the woodshop tools, learn how to build a sturdy workbench, and at the end get a plaque to affix to the table you helped build!
