In the City: Making more cases


Yesterday Emile and I went to the 3D labs to make the remaining cases and drill in the holes to the lid. Now all four cases and lids are done. The next thing to do would be to weld the lid to the case. I'm not usually the other fabricator, Tom was away doing light design so I went instead.


Emile did counter-setting for the holes so that the edges get smoothed over. Makes it look cleaner.


We both did some spot welding. I did this one, which melted through the metal >.>




Today Tom and Emile went to weld the lids and cases together. Some of the welding wasn't very clean, but that's fine. We can fix that with a grinder to smooth up everything and get the lids to fit on perfectly.
