DPSD welding student, Logan Reynolds, saved the District a lot $ using his welding skills! The generator's part (over 30 years old) was obsolete and could not be replaced. Many thanks to Logan who lead this project, recreated the complicated tank, and repaired the generator! Logan has been a two-year finalist at our State SkillsUSA welding contest and placed fourth at Tacoma last April. TIG welding is an advanced welding procedure that takes many months of practice to become proficient. Way to go Logan!
