First East Coast Welding Rodeo Is Big Success
Florence-Darlington Technical College in Florence, SC, held its first ever "Welding Rodeo" on April 30 and May 1 at the college’s Southeastern Institute of Manufacturing and Technology, with a little help and support from ESAB.
Five teams of professional welders and five teams of amateur welding students competed to create welded sculptures that fit the theme of "Motion." The 10 teams had just eight hours to create a piece of art using only a pile of scrap material. At the end of the competition, the sculptures were judged by an independent panel of local sculptors, and prizes were awarded to the top teams. The completed sculptures were auctioned off at the end of the competition with proceeds going to support FDTC’s Welding Technology Student Scholarship Fund.
