Fabrication (metal)

When we talk about fabrication (metal), it means that we're making something out of metal.

To make something out of metal, we need a few things. First of all, we need some metal. Metal comes in big pieces called sheets, and we can make them into different shapes and sizes using special tools.

These tools include things like hammers and pliers, and they help us bend the metal into the shape we want. Sometimes we use other machines like drills or saws to cut the metal into the right size or shape.

Once we have our metal shaped the way we want it, we can use special techniques to join different pieces of metal together. Some ways we can join metal include welding, riveting, or even using bolts and screws.

Finally, once we've finished putting all our metal together, we might clean it up or paint it so that it looks nice and shiny.

So, fabrication (metal) is just making things out of metal by shaping it, joining it together, and cleaning it up at the end.
