Along with the Mission BBQ project, a second-year welding student, Josh Croteau fabricated and welded with the help of his instructors, an aluminum dog box. The dog box is used for the transportation of dogs in truck beds. The project took over forty (40) hours to complete and all welding supplies and metal were donated by the project owner.
