hot & wet training @ CIAST

Saturday......usually a busy day for me....
but a must-go training take over the original schedule....
a welding and cutting training at CIAST, Shah Alam.....
email stated departing at 7am.......
i woke up at 5.30am and reached there on time.....
there were only 2 people waiting at the bus stop...= =

had some brief intro to our schedule of the day....

first was art of WELDING....
before starting...
PPE....a MUST in workshop....
wear the smelly and dirty leather glove, apron, arm protector......
which wore by thousands of people and never washed before.....
and most IMPORTANT is the head shield.....
unfortunately no one took pic of it.....
it looks quite funny when you wear it on....
coz you couldn't tell who is who by just looking at their head....

PPE on......demo time.....
after some demo by the technician.......
we're required to "draw" 5 straight lines.......
it looked quite easy when watching the guy doing it....
in fact, it really need SKILL.....

first you need to know how to "start the fire"....
the electrode can't touch with the "drawing board" ....
must have gap within 1-3 mm
and sparks will come out from the end of the rod...
like the little firework we used to play.....
if the electrode touches the metal plate....
they will stick together......
and the current passed through then board will sparkle.....

after practice drawing on few lines.....
we started doing the serious one.....
5 lines finished......nothing to do...
so we decided to leave some mark--our initial......^^

after 2.5 hours of self-steaming in the smelly PPE.....
time for lunch.....

1.5 hours break.....
lunch provided........
you know what......"peng ye mou hou ye"
which means cheap/free stuff=low in quality
had a "WONDERFUL" lunch there......
with accompany of flies....
that keep trying to attack our food.....
luckily didn't get food poisoning after that.....

second training: cutting
not the normal cutting with scissor for sure....
using torch......
after adjusting the pressure and amount of gas released......
the fire turned into the laser sword in star war......

after the technician examine our previous welding products.....
we need to cut them into half.... T.T
after the normal cutting pattern......
time to have FUN.....(^o^)
performed the art of cutting.....
cut the plate in various shapes......
wanna cut our initial in the center of the plate...
but failed....coz the fire too strong and the plate too small.....

done everything around 3.30pm.....
and it's started to rain.......at the right time.....
coz we're all sweating and feeling hot.....

though it would be a serious training.....
but not......it's quite casual and easy and fun.....^^

Pspice...50 sketching...tutorial exercises....
they're still waiting for me tomorrow.....
time to bed......
