Metal Works (engineering Department)

The Engineering Department also took part in the fabrication of all metal parts which will make for 50 wheel hoe units.  The metals department came up with a contract for the horticulture department stating what exactly they will be doing and how with a price in which they received after all parts were finished and delivered.  The metals department had to make multiple pieces for a full assembly, which also had to then be powder coated.   I was not at the making of these parts but below are a few pictures of the machines and the process that went into the making of all metal parts.
