Cutting the Metal L<br />
Sections and Bars<br />
Workshop Notes<br />
16/01/15<br />
.Cut all L-sections needed for bottom part<br />
.Made sure that bar and more L-sections were ordered<br />
.Got advice on how to prepare for welding:<br />
- Cut 45deg off one bit for each weld<br />
- Get rid of oxide layer on both pieces<br />
- Weld top and bottom seperately, then combine<br />
- Make sure all angles are correct by creating a rig where the beams are nailed to a surface.<br />
(Height is not important here, only width). Use this for top and bottom and four bits of 70x70 for combining<br />
the two parts.<br />

Chamfering the edges of some pieces<br />
19/01/15<br />
.Filed long L sections in prep for welding<br />
.Chamfered middle L-sections for welding (just a tiny bit of finishing left)<br />
.Ordered some wood for welding jig.<br />

Using leftover metal to create right angles<br />
20/01/15<br />
.Aquired, cut and<br />
chamfered bar-sections<br />
.Created welding jig for<br />
top and bottom<br />
.Varnish tested and<br />
aquired<br />

21/01/15<br />
.Minor adjustment to metal pieces pre-welding (lengths)<br />
.Welding started, top and bottom done<br />
.Jig: 4 70x70 pieces made<br />
22/01/15<br />
