welding projects for high school

All i have left for this semester is to finish my vertical 3/8 groove, and make a 3in OD cube, then i can play

here is another thing we had to do, make a 6 inch ID ring 2 inches wide, mine rolled so nicely across the floor he kept it and it is now another example on the table of samples

the shiny spot on top was where i smoothed my weld off, 100 amp TIG no filler rod


here is what another kid in my class is working on, a claw bucket for their bobcat

this is plasma cutting the parts out



And all done, 3 hours later

wow, thats maxed at 100 amps?

or you ran less because of the pedal?

we had a guy come in and show us, he set it at 80 amps with the pedal and most people still got too hot on 1/8th stainless

less than 100, i just had the machine set to max of a 100, but i was running close to that most of the time, idk how thick it was but was less than 1/8

sorry for the triple post
 
here is a updated picture of the "claw", its pretty sweet, he hopes to have the Ram mounted tomorrwo and have it about done by the end of class



here is whats running on the plasma table right now


this is what 5 different ones are being cut on it, i think 150 in total, and then will head to autobody t be painted
 
made a time lapse today, cause i had time to kill waiting for the plasma cutter to get done, so decided to get the gopro out and film it
