Welding Bucket Repair/Rebuild

March 30, 2017

Gene Wisneski from Wisneski Farm in Norwich, CT needed this 1950’s bucket rebuilt as it was completely rotten. We ordered 1/8” Cold Rolled steel to replace the bottom and sides as well as some AR 400 hardened steel plate for wear bars. Students cut away the old material, built up a straight edge and then began fabricating all of the new material.  It was a joint effort between senior and junior classes with most of the work being performed by Nick Ortiz, Carray Eason, Tyler Sotiro, and Shayne Tozzoli.
