It's Welding Time!

This week we were able to cut up about 3/4 of the birdcage and clean a lot more of the parts.  We put on a second wire wheel so we could clean twice as much pieces.  On Friday we were finally far along enough on cutting and cleaning that we started welding.  We learned about the right angle to weld at and the slow circular motions necessary to create a clean weld.

We were also able to make progress on our presentations.  I would say that the majority of us are at least halfway done with the presentations.

Matt welds pieces of the birdcage together.

Matt uses the angle grinder to smooth out the weld.
