Overview
The Metal Furniture Shops involve the preparation and assembly of special metal projects, including beds, office furniture, and security screens. Some participants are taught the use of gas and arc welders, presses, and other metal fabricating machines. The assembly section of this shop includes attaching upholstered seat backs and the spray painting of the product.
Participants in the Metal Shop at Fishkill Correctional Facility also work on custom and specialty type items, such as special housing recreation enclosures, doors, snow plow racks, tire racks, and many types of security screens.
