Project Title: Building a Grill through Welding

A. Project Abstract: (Refer to the detailed information located in the proposal/letter of intent)

Welding since tenth grade has been one of the best classes I have taken since Ive been at LCHS. I love to see the blue arc created by a welder, the smell
of fumes, and the product finished with perfection. Not only does welding make works of art and many cars, they can hold skyscrapers, tractors,plows,fuel
tankers,oil rigs,etc.I will be using my fabrication skills to design and build a grill, to make it I will need a small well tank, angle iron, flat bar, round piping, cutting
torch or plasma cutter, grinder, and a MIG welder. Those who would benefit from my project are people who like to grill and are interested in welding/fabrication.

D. Project Justification:
This project can qualify as a capstone, because it follows my choice of career pathway in welding/Fabricating. This will demonstrate the knowledge I have
gained over the years that I have spent welding.

E. Product Justification:

My product will show the aspect of my career choice and help myself prove to myself that I can do whatever I put my mind to do.

G. Academic Integrity:

Integrity is the most important part of this project, honesty goes a long way. If there is no honesty here then, how will my future employer or anyone
else be honest with me. You gain more by being honest than lying. I will prove my honesty by pictures and videos if necessary
