Can crusher and gear knob

 Can crusher. 

Photo                                             I really enjoyed making the can crusher because it was kinda basic and did not have any real hard parts to it. we just had to cut some materiel out and then weld them together, and it was good for me since it is my first year doing metal so i got to learn the ins and outs. If I done this project again I would try get my welding better becasue it is a bit patchy and lumpy which looks a bit ugly. 



Gear knob. 

Photo                                                                         The gear knob is a bit more technical because we need to get everything to the exact mms and couldnt get anything wrong otherwise it wouldnt look right and I also got to learn how to use the lathe. I aslo learnt that I need to take my time and not rush because I need to make it all line up with eachother.

I have really enjoyed doing engineering this year learning all the differnt things like welding, how to use the lathe and even the basic things like what hacksaw to use for the correct metal. 

Have you learnt anything new this year? 


I AM STILL WORKING ON THIS BLOG POST

    Looks like you're doing well on your projects. I like how you explained about what types of work you had to do while making your projects. It would be nice to see some pictures of your work
