My project/Coat Hanger

For the past couple of weeks, we started a new project that would get us through most of term 3 and 4. We used many different tools to help create our masterpiece. This is my final piece. 

The materials we used were;

We used this file to file down our work to get it the desired shape for the base and hook

Emery Cloth- Used to get your work clean and shiny, Get the engineers blue off, scuffs marks etc

Vice- Used to clench you work so it is easier to hacksaw, file  etc.

Welding Torch- Used to heat up the metal ready to bend the hook part ready to rivet onto our base

Rivet- Used to bind two pieces of metal together. So the hook and the base has a strong stable bond and there was no way it would come loose

Ball Pein Hammer- Use to smash the rivet flat and create a nice flush surface.

Spray Paint- Used to color the metal to the colour of your liking

Hacksaw- Used to cut the metal to make your  job easier by cutting down the file time to half of what is would have taken if you done it only with a file

Drill- Drill the holes for the rivets and the countersink etc.

Engineers Blue- Used to see the lines easier, Make them easily visible to file to or cut.

Scriber- To make nice strong bold lines you can see on the metal before you put the engineers blue on.

Engineers square-Used to get accurate lines on your work, no line crooked
