This week, the team continued to prep the steel bar stocks and square tubing for welding (Figure 1 and 2), shown in Figure 3. Dan from the Full Scale bogie team was able to demonstrate TIG welding for the team, and allowed each of us to practice under his supervision. However, due to our inexperience in TIG welding, we were unable to properly join weld the parts in Figure 4. Personally, I had a little trouble keeping my hand steady as I formed a straight puddle line. Although I feel like we're behind schedule, I still feel confident that my team will finish on time.
