week 3

This is my third week coming back here and I already have accumulated 12 hours which is about half of the required hours for my project. I am definitively going to be putting in more hours than the required time, and i am definitively okay with that. i do have to admit that these first weeks are getting kind of repetitious, but this is no fault of Al's. He asked me if I wanted to try something else out and I said no I wanted to become proficient in mig welding first. Although after I did my butt joint welds and t joint welds he let me use the plasma cutter, and yes it was as cool as it sounds. The plasma cutter is well you guessed it, a two foot torch that gets so hot it becomes super heated plasma making the material look like a hot knife through butter. And because these pieces i was cutting where used for no particular reason i could do whatever I wanted on them. So the first thing I did was cut my name out on a quarter inch steel plate which I now hang in my room. I honestly really enjoy everything about doing this stuff so far and i really hope the next weeks to come are like this
