week 7

This week we set out to finish the stool, it has been a couple of weeks since I have seen AL because of scheduling conflicts. The stool is slowly but surely coming together as i weld each individual piece together and then have to make sure it will all fit together before I move on to the next piece. So far so good as we have only had to fix about two or three mistakes on both of our parts. one of the biggest challenges is being able to make something you visualize a reality. It is one thing to make a drawing but it is a completely different thing to make it real, sometimes thing just don't work the way you think they are supposed too. After all my work and all of Al's help i finally completed my stool and it looks pretty good. It is a little tall but other than that i am completely satisfied with it. Now the only thing left for me to do is take it home and make a seat for it. i am extremely happy with welding and would strongly pursue it as a career after a graduate from college.
