i have to make a projects for metals class... something kinda big, we have 9 weeks to make it and it needs to consume most of that time...I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO MAKE!
any ideas? i really need some!

bump*

make a high compression head for a single cylinder engine and a matching piston. forged aluminum ftw! you'll have one badass lawnmower.

uhm...anything?

model of your car?
a bridge?
basic form of some famous art statue (like the guy holding the globe, I forgot his name)?
model the 3-dimensional structure of a carbon atom?

I'm not really sure what your looking for here

a truss/bridge would be easiest

even something simple like a trash can, pop can...something like that can consume a lot of time because of buckling.

lol and how the hell am i gunna do that?
that would be amazing though!!!!!!
hmmm sadly i was kinda thinking to make the eifel tower hahaha

well when you said metals class i assumed that you were working with the metal lathes and the VMM machines. are you just welding and brazing?

make a perch to hold the awd rear subfame from an st205 in an st204 lol

lol. then mass produce it

Make a 4 point or 6 point roll cage for your car. Or you can make one for me.

i was kinda thinking that..

i had 3 projects in my first shop class, one was a clock. had aluminum base, with brass and steel pencil holders and an acrylic face to hold the clock. not too difficult, but tolerances were really tight. processes included sawing, milling, turning/facing, tapping (both internal and external threads), drilling/reaming, counterboring/sinking, finishing (sanding for holders and beadblasting the base), and cnc. heres a few crappy phone pics i took a while ago.





dont know if this is exactly what you are looking for or if this is too easy, just throwing out ideas.

if this "metals" class is welding and not machining you could do like i did and make a rolling tool cart and tool chest combo.

That is Great Practical, Project !

I got nothing myself for a good idea.

I say make your self a coustom rad cooling pannel and put ur screen name on it and the 6gc logo..or just the 6gc logo on it and sell em

have any pics of it...

and yes to clear it up its more like welding...mig/arc/ OA/ we also have a bender, plasma cutter, furnace and some other small things

Make a go cart frame. Then put a 250cc 2 stroke engine on it. Fun

i built a tandem wheel flatbed trailer for my school. they needed one, so they paid for materials, i designed and built it, they kept it and i got full credit.

In my metals class, i just made a really nice tool box with a bunch of different sized compartments. I use it all the time.

in my metals class we made stools, i dont think it too nearly 9 weeks though, if its high school you can stretch it into 9 weeks
