## Caption

In Fundamentals of Fabrication, students use a metal lathe to machine custom end caps for their mechanics chair projects. These precision-machined parts fit perfectly inside the tubing and feature threaded holes for the casters, giving students hands-on experience with the same machining processes used to manufacture components for everything from industrial equipment and automotive assemblies to aerospace and production machinery. Projects like this help students understand the importance of precision, tolerances, and machine operation.
