Metalworking is the process of working with metals to create individual parts, assemblies, or large scale structures. The term covers a wide range of work from large ships and bridges to precise engine parts and delicate jewellery. It therefore includes a correspondingly wide range of skills, processes, and tools.

Metalworking is a science, art, hobby, industry and trade. Its historical roots span cultures, civilizations, and millennia. Metalworking has evolved from the discovery of smelting various ores, producing malleable and ductile metal useful for tools and adornments. Modern metalworking processes, though diverse and specialized, can be categorized as forming, cutting or joining processes. Today's machine shop includes a number of machine tools capable of creating a precise, useful workpiece.

A. I am not sure what you are doing but if you need a compressor to only make 2psi one of those old diapram pumps for an aquarium should work. I dont know how much volume you need though.

Does anybody know where I can find a college or university that offers this?
Q. I'm looking for a college or university that may offer courses on parapsychology or metalworking. I know of trade schools (for blacksmithing), but I'm looking more specifically for silver- and gold-smithing. The second one is more serious, the first one is just a curiosity. It's something that interests me.
