Workshop Practise

11 September,our first workshop of the semester was welding and fabrication ,we have done fabrication during our pre-national diploma,now its welding.

Our workshop instructor was Cikgu Awang Dayang , he's a very fun and funny person to make a friend,but could get serious sometimes ,well, most of the time not that serious.

whats welding?

Well, its a method to join two metals together with the use of oxy-acetylene which is a mixture of oxygen and acetylene gas which creates a high temperature flame out of a torch.

Not everyone can weld a metal very well,it takes time and a lot of practice.

At first I was not even able to weld in a straight line, it was like a snake's trail. Like wine,it just gets better with time,I have improved after 3 weeks of welding.

First thing to consider in every work area , "SAFETY" , most important thing is you safety goggles,fire resistant gloves are also necessary at certain times,especially when handling arc welding
