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

Metal

For Metal we have been looking at different safety signs and what they mean. We have been looking at a main three safety signs that you would potentially see at a work place. 

Hazard: A hazard is something that could injure or potentially kill you. A hazard can be like dust that could get into your eyes, A gas leak or even an electrical fault within an area.



Here are the three main signs we have been looking at:

Hazard                         

This sign means that there is a potential chance of slipping over

You could scan the area for any wet or slippery surfaces.You can put a wet floor sign down in front of the slippery surface and you can also block off the area too public or worker use. 

Prohibited:

This sign is telling you too not use your phone. 

This could be because you could be using your phone and there is a chance or a spark occurring and that
spark is a perfect ignition source for any fumes in the area.

You could prevent this from happening by not using your phone.

Mandatory:
This sign is telling you to wear a harness when working because if you don't there is a potential chance of falling and hurting yourself.  You could prevent this from happening by wearing a harness.


This is my sign that i made

This sign is telling you to put you bags under the desk because it can be a tripping hazard.
