Chair Repair Continued and Extras

Question: What's going  on?

Cruz: We're continuing the repair of the chair in the classroom. 

Question: Cool! How has the progress come?

Cruz: Well we have learned a different type of welding, and we have also improved on our mig welding skills. 

Question:What new things did you learn?
Cruz: We learned how to tig weld and how we can use that to repair the chair.

Question: That's awesome! So what has been resolved with the chair?
Cruz: Well now that our welding skills meet the requirements for the job, we begun on fixing the legs together.

Question:Okay, so how will that work out?

Cruz: For starters, we clamped the top part of the legs to keep them in place when we begin welding.

Question: Okay, but will that be enough to hold it together?
Cruz: Nope. That is why Mr. Grosinger let us use a mechanism that will keep the legs equal distance apart. It will also prevent the legs from shifting and moving out of place while welding.

Question: What is the square called?
Cruz: I forgot the name of it... But it was made by a student from Memorial High School who is also in Mr. G's class. It is really helpful.

Question: How have your skills improved?

Before

After

Cruz: It might not look like much, but we have been able to weld more thoroughly and have less gaps between solids and the welding.

Question: What's next?
Cruz: Actually weld the legs with the seat. Hopefully we finish the product before the year ends.

Question: Awesome! What have your pals been up to?
Cruz: they have also updated their blogs. You can check out their posts at
