Hamburg Welding 5-30-25

As school is wrapping up the Hamburg Welding students have been working on a some projects. One is a special order 96” land leveler. Others include 5 shooting platforms with quick attach axles and draw bar, some heavy 12” beam work and a handrail. The students have all done exceptionally well in the shop this year.
