This semester in metal.

So this semester of metal i found it difficult at times getting measurements and all but then it was moderate difficulty in other parts. But over all it was an excellent experience, learning new helpful skills. 

In my opinion i think the most difficult part was filing the sides to make them smooth due to me, personally kept slipping off the work with the file and cutting myself on the sharp edges but It didn't hurt for long. The most long lasting part was either cleaning the sides of the engineers blue and the anti rust layer or filing the sides down to shape because they were very long lasting.  My most favorite part of this semester was being able to spray paint my work. It was a very fun task and surprisingly i'm not to bad at it either.

So overall I had a great time in metal

Coat Hook Project.

So this semester we have been working on a coat hook project. For this project we needed multiple tools including, ( steel, aluminum is optional for back plate, file, scribe, hacksaw, ruler, engineers square, engineers blue, center punch, ball-peen hammer, rivets, emery cloth, oxy acetylene )

so what we did first is we got our metal, then we had to cut it, and file it down to size. After that we had to file it into shape .

Then after that we spent a lot of time cleaning out metal to make it shiny.

we marked it out for bending it.

Then we bent it to the right shape and had to clean it again.

We then counter sunk the holes and riveted it together

Then lastly we spray painted it the colour of our choice
