The knowledge and skills of product design and manufacture are still very minimal experienced by most students of the 7 Tangerang Banten State Vocational High School (SMKN). This is because all students come from public schools. The SMKN 7 curriculum only emphasizes increasing knowledge and insight into attitudes and noble character. The practice given is about dancing skills, making worship facilities and skills in chanting holy songs and similar skills. Discussions with students and teachers produced data on students' needs to increase knowledge, insight and skills, especially designing and manufacturing products through basic welding techniques. Welding skills are needed as a provision for entrepreneurship in the field of welding. The implementation of PKM is carried out in 2 stages, namely the debriefing stage and the practical stage in the welding workshop. The debriefing produces various concepts of Minimalist Ergonomic Chairs according to the specified criteria. The practice is carried out in groups to realize the existing designs. Practical activities provide experience measuring materials, cutting, sanding, grinding, rolling, welding, and painting and teamwork. The output of the training resulted in a concept and prototype design of a Minimalist Ergonomic Chair Made from Nako Iron. Debriefing and practice can increase market research knowledge by 80%, increase 70% in understanding human factors and increase 90% in understanding the stages of product design. Field practice increases experience working in groups by 50% and the ability to use welding shop equipment increases by 50%. All participants were satisfied with the instructor's guide and training materials. In general, skills training activities are called successful.
