Sheet Metal Mailbox
Machine Shop Project
Overview: This was the first project in my machine shop safety class. It was a very hands on class so I had a lot of fun. By the end of the class, I learned how to operate tools such as the lathe and mill machine. I also got to refresh my skills on spot welding and soldering.
Outcome of experience: Something that I learned while making the mailbox was the importance of adaptability. Unexpected issues and challenges will always occur, it is important to know how to adjust along the process.
