more welding stuff sans grinding (in carbide)

I stumbled into another department today which had access to CNC milling and 3D printers, so it looks like I'll be headed that way next semester! They were really very nice! It's right next to (and in the same building as ) my welding stuff, so it's perfect!
I added some practical things; front and back license plates (need to etch in actual numbers), a roof with a canopy/ visors and a step so the people would be able to get into the vehicle. We also did some flux work, which was awesome too. There were some cool projects done by everyone. I love the idea of balancing the design of things with making. I was reading J0bs' biography, written by Is@@cson today (halfway through of 600 pages), and he was saying that he would bring in B0sendorfers and Duc@tis to encourage not only impeccable craftsmanship by his designers and engineers ( and to nudge their curiosity to continue actually MAKING), but also to surrounded them with good taste and craftsmanship. My friend who worked there (have quite a few there now) was saying some of the most creative persons she has ever met worked there. It makes sense.

Anyways...
