'W' beginnings

After figuring out our systems on two relatively simple letters, it was time to get to the more complex ones. Since the ‘W’ was the biggest, it was the next one on the welding table. There are some tough, narrow segments on the inside. The key to efficiency was to send the inside corners first, then take the time to grind before I proceeded to the other side of the letter. That worked well, and I was able to get through all of the hard bits and begin the legs and base before the end of the workday. Because there are about a hundred linear feet of weld in this letter, I’m getting my practice hours in without a doubt. Stay tuned for the finish tomorrow…
