Battery Mount and Metal Works

This week we need to continue working on the two rear battery mounts, we have the aluminum ready to be cut to make the mounts but because it is thick aluminum and to be practical we need to cut it with the angle grinder.

Furthermore a lot of us are being taught how to weld, because it is a crucial skill to building with metal.  Jaret's dad has come in to teach us how to properly use an angle grinder, so that we can cut up the metal we need for welding.  We received a birdcage that we will use as scrap metal.  Our goals this week are to . . .

A) Learn to angle grind

B) Start cutting up the bidcage

C) Get metal pieces for battery mount
