TIG Welding
The Block: combined final project with True Size & Shape class - create "The Block" to scale (could be any size) and weld it together to be water tight
Completed Block!
Block filled with water, ready for last weld - Bottom with ventilation hole pictured to the right.
My block (center) compared to others from the same class.
Brazing
Dealer's choice project, but must use found objects of different metals. I combined this with my oxy-fuel welding project (see below).
Creative clamping was necessary for attaching the caps to the handle.
Completed deadblow, filled with sand and everything. The letters on its display were brazed together, then TIG welded on.
Oxy-Acetylene Welding
Dealer's choice project, but must include at least one non-steel metal. I combined this with my brazing project (see above).
Holes in the head for the handle were made using oxy-acetylene cutting
Creative clamping was necessary for attaching the caps to the head.
Stick Welding
Dealer's choice project, but must use more than one type of electrode and demonstrate one of each type of weld: horizontal, vertical, overhead (flat & fillet)
"Completed" Toolbox (I think this project will continue for the rest of my life)
