Today at the shop I learned how to wire up pod lights, how to change brake pads and weld.
We were wiring the pod lights in on the toolbox on his trailer so he could load stuff in the dark. So we had to cut some holes out to the size if the lights then drill holes for the bolts to got through then bolt them on. Then it was the fun part wiring them up, it wasn’t that bad because we already had a wiring harness for them so we just had to splice some wires and the one was good to go but the other one shorted out for some reason.
Then we had to do a quick brake pad change on this lady’s car. It didn’t take long it just took raking the wheel off, the brake caliper and slide the old pads out and the new one in, then by putting it all back together.
Then the part I enjoyed the most welding. We were welding on some d rings on his trailer so he had a place to hook ratchet straps to. We were using a Hobart welder he would weld the bottom and I would weld the top. I had a few welds that were actually really good for my first time mig welding.
But overall I had a good day at the shop and learned a lot of stuff I’m sure I’ll use.
