light fixtures

[mistersmed]

Hello all:

I just found your board a couple days ago, and thought you might like to see some solar powered light fixtures built by my group of 20 architecture students (I teach architecture at University of Kansas).

Most of these students had never welded before taking this class. The class is about half male/half female. Project took 7 weeks from start of design to final installation. The students worked in teams of 3 or 4 on 6 different light fixtures.

Most of the bent steel was done with O/A torch, except the biggest pipes which we had professionally rolled.

For pictures of the Completed lights.

For process photos

Cheers,

Nils

that's cool stuff Nils. I bet it was really fun for the students to see the project go from design to fabrication to installation.

keep up the good work !

Thanks for you kind comments!

The students ate the project up. I'm a huge fan of learning-by-doing, and projects like that are the best.

I found the board because I just bought a Lincoln buzzbox, and was surfing for electrode info.

I always learn alot from these forums, (mostly lurking)

Cheers,

Nils
