HOME MADE SPEAKER AP PHYSICS PROJECT PROPOSAL

For my Ap Physics Senior project I decided to re create a speaker for the name of simplicity. Purpose of this lab to show how a copper wire with a current going over a magnet will create a force f=bil. Materials needed are a magnet, some insulated copper wire, paper plates, and glue. Audio jack and other materials will appear eventually but I'm just laying down the basics. Hopefully I can finish the design in time to record a video of my BassSoFat (BSF) speaker making some noise!!

LOWERING MY 1970 510 DATSUN WAGON

I'm lowering my wagon. Here are some front struts I took off a 1982 nissan 280zx. These will accommodate the wagon really well. Shout out to ground control for hooking us up with some nice shocks and front coil overs that can camber the front wheels for the perfect stance. Simple enamel water based paint to add some character to the struts and of course prevent rust!Had to cut the struts about 3 inches and then welded them back together as well with the coil over adapter.

OXY WELDING BACKGROUND

I started off gas welding first. Here is a T-fillet with not rg45 filler rod but and an  ELECTRODE! LOL I used a HR-7018 low hydrogen electrode to be exact. All I did was just take the flux off. Took alot of heat control but honestly the welds come out stronger and prettier ;) OH yeah that's just me in my shade fives repping righetti.

FIRST HIGH INDIVIDUAL (RIGHETTI REPPING)

Got first at my welding competition. Hard work pays off! Let's see how my team does at state we want a back to back championship! RIGHETTI

SANTA MARIA (GUADALUPE) STYLE BBQ

For those of you who do not know where Santa Maria Style BBQ originated it was in my home town Guadalupe California. About 15 minutes west of Santa Maria. You'll find that we are surrounded by fields and good people :)Here we have some PRIME meat. Ranchera, smoked sausage, and riblets. If you tag along with my blog you'll find some more prime meat.

MY BBQ PIT #1

Welded the box of my BBQ together, grinded of my tacks so the legs fit flush to the sides.

JUMBO GRILL ANYONE?

The after math of letting a couple of teenagers have freedom and creativity in a old welding shop. Took a long time to make this with just 30 min each day of freedom. Let us just take a moment and wonder what can happen if we were given 3 or more hours? Hmmmm

STAINLESS STEEL GRILL

Also did a T fillet with no rod just pure HEAT CONTROL. Thought it was impressive at the moment. Did a fillet weld for my buddy a few months back. This is about three months of practicing TIG (stainless). Little rusty at the moment because I'm trying to gain a good foundation on FLUX and STICK welding.
