One of the student projects of the Metalshop is a welded rack for bicycle storage. A pair of individual steel pieces had to be cut and bent. Workshop participants Jung Ju Lee and Stanford Mandizha learn to cut and weld the steel pieces. The completed rack is now located next to the staircase in Unit 8 of the East Crescent complex.

The next project is a metal form for a set of concrete wall panels. The silt-cast panels are planned for a new wall design surrounding the walk-in refrigerator and recycling area behind the bakery. This will be a welcome improvement for the main visitors entrance behind the Crafts III building. The round metal ring will be the interior part of the form.

The wall panels will be mounted together with weld plates. The metal-shop crew, headed by Brendan Maloney, gathers scrap steel pieces and cuts them to size in preparation. This report will continue.
