A method of making an inverted T shaped ceiling grid member comprises the steps of folding a sheet of metal to form a vertical central web with a bulb at the top and having two web sidewalls with a pair of oppositely disposed horizontal flanges extending outwardly from the bottom of the web for supporting ceiling tiles, and laser welding the two web sidewalls together by applying a laser beam thereto to form a laser weld to increase the strength and rigidity of the ceiling grid member. A cap may be attached to the flanges to cover the bottom of the flanges.
