Implementation:
I learned how to use and made use of the
-
lathe

mill
-
tapping drill

and other hand-tools
Result:
An air motor that runs over 2700 rpm
Results:
-
Practiced reading mechanical drawings to machine parts to tolerance using the lathe, mill, and other tools
-
Ran the motor at 2740rpm after tapping holes, sand-finishing, and assembling parts
-
Learned the safety precautions necessary to work in the machine shop
-
Recognized that those designing products need to keep in mind how their ideas designs will actually be made/machined/manufactured
