Internship Day 2

6-13-08
11:00-3:15
Today we started with what we learned on Tuesday by finishing up grinding the fire scale marks off the steel bars. Then Ken and Julie showed us how to use the equipment to cut large steel tube. We used a power saw to cut steel bars for another style of clock that they have in production that was originally designed by a former intern from Towson University. The filing of different products and how to read the instructions was demonstrated and we went to work on cutting and cleaning all the pieces to make ten of the small clocks. I personally was a big fan of cutting the bars simply because there is a lot of flying sparks involved. Fire makes me happy. Finally, we finished all the clocks up from the previous workday and had all the pieces we cut today cleaned and ready to go for the next step.
