Balancing Toy 

Making of the balance (Part1)  

Balancing Toy

Making of the balance (Part1)  

-First I cut an 80 x 50 mild steel bar with a hacksaw.

- then I cleaned it with a file and used the emery cloth to give a little shine.

- After I cleaned my mild steel bar I put in Engineer’s blue so I can mark it out.

- After I put the engineer’s blue I drew the outlet of my balance shape into a paper and glued it.

-I cut the outline of my balance with a bandsaw.You need a safety glasses and earmuffs to protect you from any danger around the bandsaw

-You need to file the edges and try make it smooth and straight as much as you can.

-After you filed it you have to cut a slot at the top of your balance with the bandsaw to put in a piece of metal to hold your balance

-You have to cut a small piece of metal bar to fit in your balance 65 mm long.

After you get it to fit you have to weld it in together. I welded my piece with a blow torch and welding rod and cream.

-After welding, you have to start on your base

-First, you need to cut a 100 x 20mm mild flat steel bar with a hacksaw  

-After you have cut your piece of metal you have to clean it with a file, Emery cloth.  

-When you have cleaned it you have put engineers blue in your base to mark out measurements   

-You have to draw a line with a scriber down your piece of metal and mark out 2 holes in each side with a center punch 10 mm apart  

-After you’ve mark out your hole your going to need a 6.0 drill,  friend to operate the on/off button and safety glasses.  

-after you cut the holes you're going to need 2 pieces of round bar 65mm each.

-When you have cut your bar you have to clean it with an emery cloth.

-After you cleaned it you have to weld the two round bars in each inside end.
