Metal Workshop Induction

After the wood workshop, I had a metal workshop induction.

We began by measuring out 35cm on a metal rod that we would use to support our puppets.

Using the angle grinder, I cut the metal rod to it's correct length. If I make the puppet and the rod is too tall however, I can come back to cut it down once more so that it fits comfortably in my model's back.

Then, using the linisher, otherwise known as a vertical belt sander, I smoothed the edges of my rod down so it wasn't as sharp or have any harsh edges.

Then, I cut the thread using a die. I needed to ensure the die remained straight all the way down as I turned it as this way, the nut would fit onto it properly.

This is currently the finished outcome.
