i made a camera crane, then a camera dolly, then a flat rail...then i got bored and just started spray painting stuff in the classroom matte black. By the end of the year almost all the tools were black..pretty funny.

How intense are you going with this welding? Something simple might be to make a small table... or chair.

Welding is easy, fitting is the hard part. When i was a peer tutor in welding shop class in grade 12 we made a wood stove, It's simple easy and if you do some nice Plasma,bandsaw or oxy/ace cuts and beads with the mig you get good marks.  I also sold it for 50 dollars (plus doughnuts) to some old man and put it to the O found. I love shop class. Or make giant penis, we did that alot to. Or fill a garbage bag with ACE/OXY and throw something hot at it. We did that at the end of the year and the side of the school is still burnt black.
