REVIEW OF BUILDING A PROJECT made of metal • Idea • Sketch • Measurements • Material list • Layout • Type of joints • Cutting & drilling • Gluing
REVIEWING A PROJECT MADE OF METAL • Idea • Sketch • Measurements • Material lists • Layouts • Types of welds and joints • Finishing and polishing
For example: BUILDING A ZEN CHAIR • This is a creative project to build a small chair that sits 10” off the ground. • It needs to hold a pillow. • It needs some artistic style.
RESOURCES • Pictures • Tools • Sketches • Idea exchange

STEP #3: LAYOUT AND CUTTING • Obtain the materials • Layout and identify the pieces • Cut them and assemble them • Have it checked • Weld or braze
STEP #4: FINISHING • Grinding • Buffing • Painting
ALL PROJECTS FOLLOW A SIMILAR PROCEDURE • First create an idea book • Then take pictures of things you like • Or go on the website to get ideas • Once you have the idea go and start with Step #1 • Step #1: Create drawings and sketches • Step #2: From these drawings make ketches or drawings, for parts, then make material list
Cont. • Step #3: Plan your layout and building ideas • Step #4: Finishing
ASSIGNMENT • Look over the next few pictures and choose a metal project • Make a diagram and sketch complete with measurements • Make a material list • Get the materials • Get the tools and build the project
