Project help

Post by CHAOTiC WAYz »

I am the metalshop Lead for our local Makerspace,
We built our own 4x4 table and are running a pm65.
I have been teaching the plasma cnc class for a little over a month now.
What I am wanting now is ideas on a small to medium sized project i can do a class on.
I would like it to be something all my students can cut out, weld, clean up and leave with a semi useful project.
At one point i had thought about metal bird houses, but quickly remembered the birds may not survive in the steel oven.
Any ideas or examples would be awesome. Thanks in advance. Sorry if this may be in the wrong section.

mini chiminea's! 24 inches tall, 11'' at the bottom about 5 at the top,

can make them 3 or 4 sided tac together measure the bottom make to size,

they can add a cut out into the face

here is one i have made, i started making them at 24'' scale so i dident have to lug around full sized, people seem to really like them though.

pretty easy to draw lots off different styles

I would look for things that are popular in your area, maybe wall hangings or Monograms or street address door hangers.
There are many listed here that are fun and useful, tool hangers, clamps ect. Just do a search and pick out some for them to select from.
