All done
Today I welded all the metal together to make the garden box. First I tacked the frame together. Once the frame was tacked together I did full welds on the places were I tacked it together. Then I took the stretch metal and welded it into the frame. When I was working on the lid I ran out of stretched metal so I took a metal strap and welded two pieces of the stretched metal together. After all the stretched metal was welded on I took the hinges and welded them onto the frame and lid. Once that was done all I had to make a latch for the lock by cutting metal and welding it together. I welded the latch onto the box and then drilled a hole for the lock to hook onto. Once the lid was done I took the metal sander and sanded down the whole box so that there were no rough edges or sharp pieces of metal so that no one get cuts on the box. The box is done now!!!!

Cut
Today I cut all the metal that was necessary to make the box. I used the grinder to cut the metal. I got all the metal at the recycle yard. All together today it has taken me less than an hour to cut all the metal. I was even able to cut the stretched metal. Next time I have to work on the box there will be a lot of welding so it gets put together.
