Engineering Level 2 2020 completed projects

Can Crusher


This year in Engineering we are making a can crusher and a gear knob for our projects. I am in the process of making a can crusher and almost done. In the past few weeks of making the can crusher I have learned how to gas and MIG weld in the workshop. By using oxygen and acetylene I joined and connected the two pieces of metal together to create the base of my can crusher.

Here is the final outcome of my can crusher, I'm really surprised and happy with the outcome. Throughout the process, I enjoyed learning how to use a different variety of tools and machinery. Learning how to use the Gas welder was the most enjoyable to learn and use as it was something different than the MIG weld, with this one you had to use a filler rod and also holding the torch, unlike the MIG weld where your only just holding the torch in your hand. It was difficult at the start and then I started to get the hang of it. But overall I really enjoyed creating and making the can crusher.

    Your description is pretty good and the photo of the can crusher plan is nicely in place. You could add more to your description about the project and what it is.

    Hey Tevita
    It's nice to see that you're enjoying making the can crusher. I think that whilst doing this project you have acquired some good skills that would help you in the future if you want to carry on with engineering.
