WHERE METAL FABRICATION AND HISTORY INTERSECT

摘要

"Custom fabricating is all about working from knowns to unknowns," said hobby fabricator, professional fabricator, welding instructor, and lifelong horsepower enthusiast Mark Prosser. As a youngster, his playground was his father's garage and back yard, where the elder Prosser owned and operated an auto repair and restoration shop. Through his childhood and teenaged years, Prosser built or modified more than his share of minibikes, go carts, and snowmobiles. It was quite an apprenticeship, later fortified with a degree in welding technology from Ferris State University, Big Rapids, Mich. Prosser then earned a bachelor's degree from Central Michigan University, Mt. Pleasant, Mich., followed by a master's degree in adult education in 2013. An instructor for nearly 15 years, he continues to fabricate in his free time, dedicating many evenings, weekends, and holidays to projects of all sorts.
