This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Metal Working.

For this BB, you will be making a squirrel/raccoon guard!

Here is one way of doing this: (do it similar to this video, but weld it together, instead)


To document your completion of the BB, provide the photos or video (<2 min) of the following:
 - The supplies you're starting with
 - Partway through the build
 - The finished Squirrel/Raccoon Guard

Approved submission

Note: I hereby certify this badge bit complete.

 
He was giving me directions and I was powerless to resist. I cannot resist this tiny ad:
