Blog #2 Finishing up my wrench

This week I feel like I got a lot done. My wrench is about 98% done. I started over due to my first wrench being to big and my cutting skills showed no knowledge. So I got a new piece of metal this one needed a lot more work due to the amount of rust on it. But that was not a problem I learned how fill very good from the help of my instructor I leaned how to take out all cruves, holes, or marks from my cutting. All surfaces were working and made nice. I learned how to size my wrench to the 2 inch nut. I used the vice i tightened the wrench with the nut in it so it fit perfectly. Making a wrench I gained a lot of knowledge about how to cut with the torche and setting the flame. And lastly how to use the drill press to make a  hole in my wrench.

We did three main things one of which was bolt cutting and stretching them. I did about 8-10 bolts broke some, others I did not break just stretched them to the limit. My first class A bolt I had to cut out with a hacksaws, I attempted to break it but instead I got the bolt stuck on there pretty good. 

The next thing I did was the engine service: cummins worksheet. 

I learned how to use the website fairly well except the last question the correct answer is 6. 

The last thing I accomplished this week was my wrench cut out. I got it all drawn up then I cut it out with a torch cutting tool. I practiced for about two days trying to cut straight lines and working on setting the flame correctly. Here are some pictures...
