Context
I wanted a practical shop tool that would make rotational welding work easier, more controlled, and more repeatable.
What I built
This project became a custom welding positioner with a fabricated frame, machined parts, and integrated drive and electrical components.
Technical scope
The work touched structure, fixturing, motion, and integration:
- fabricated and welded the main structure
- machined the parts needed for the rotating assembly
- integrated the electronics and drive hardware
- assembled and tested the full system as a working tool
Constraints and trade-offs
The build needed to stay practical for a small shop environment and make use of available tools and materials.
Results
The result was a finished tool that demonstrates the ability to carry a machine-building project from concept through fabrication and working integration.
Why it matters for hiring
This is a concise example of hands-on mechanical build work that combines structure, rotating motion, and practical system integration.
