School Project #1: Outdoor fireplace

admin

This is the project we (a student and I) as part of the complex assembly course.It is made out of 1/8" steel, legs are HSS 2x1.5, door is made out of angles.. every external welds are buffed even tho they were awesome eh (GMAW)Now these are pictures of the day school students' fireplace.. they had to redo twice the same fireplace, and it is still ugly and crooked. Judge by the welds (1" wide welds?!?!?!)I'll take pictures of my personal project this week, a weight bench (bench press, sit ups, and modular).

Reply:Nice work friend.  I want to ask, though, what program did you use to make the picture of the weight bench?  Thanks,Chuck
Reply:Solidworks 2006 I just started learning it, can't really make any "assemblies" that rotate and stuff.. or things like gas tanks or anything "rounded".. yet It's an awesome program!
Reply:Sweet.  I gotta have it. ThanksChuck
